Punching bag

Folder: 
2005

like a beauty magazine you make me feel bad about myself

and like the devil you lead me closer and closer to hell

and I can never seem to escape, I'm trapped like an animal

held back by chains, you make me feel insignificantly small

you make me feel unloved, so unimportant to everyone

my self esteem is always dropping and soon it will be gone

cause you are the one who was good at everything you do

loved by everyone and you never let me forget that it's true



chorus

and I'm just the one standing in the rain

nothing to shelter me from all of that pain

cause you just stomp on me like a stone

and I just got used to being on my own

but don't you understand even a little bit

that I am not your punching bag that you can hit



like a lion you pounce on me when you feel like it

and I just keep taking more and more of your shit

you are always telling me all the good things people say

about how much they love you and you repeat it every day

and it makes me feel so horrible about myself all the time

and the feelings linger on, I can't seem to leave them behind

a hurt the size of California lives inside my heart

don't realize that you just keep tearing me apart

chorus



you tell me what to do

you treat me like I'm dumb

like I can't take care of myself

and I want to turn the other way and run

chorus
