lirik lagu taylor thomas - for them
[verse 1]
the other day i played my dad a song i wrote about you
he said that he hopes no one ever treats me like that
i told him i wrote it from someone else’s perspective so he wouldn’t hate you
but it really got me thinking when the lyrics made him sad
’cause he taught me to guard my heart
so how could i tell him i let you tear it apart?
he’d be so disappointed in me
and i hate to leave him wondering why his little girl cries every night
he’d probably feel so helpless
i’m hurting him worse than how you hurt me
[chorus]
so i’m gonna try to fix myself
i think it’s time i admit i need help
and that starts with loving you from a distance
i really don’t care that i’m not alright
but i just can’t bear the pain in their eyes
when they say i should leave you and i always refuse to listen
’cause i’m comfortable when i’m breaking down
and i push everyone who loves me out
so i’m just left with you painting me blue again
and i’d let you do that forevermore but they all miss who i was before
so it’s time i let you go but just know
i’m only doing this for them
[verse 2]
the other day my mum came in my room as i was crying
i didn’t wanna talk so i yelled at her to leave
you could almost hear her heart break
but that still didn’t stop her from trying to pick me up off the floor
she said she’s getting worried about me
she’s given me everything and all i’ve done is give her anxiety
’cause she’s watching me fade away
i’m skipping dinner and getting thinner
and i didn’t think anyone could notice
but she said all her friends are praying for me
then she smiles but i can tell that she’s not okay
[chorus]
so i’m gonna try to fix myself
i think it’s time i admit i need help
and that starts with loving you from a distance
i really don’t care that i’m not alright
but i just can’t bear the pain in their eyes
when they say i should leave you and i always refuse to listen
’cause i’m comfortable when i’m breaking down
and i push everyone who loves me out
so i’m just left with you painting me blue again
and i’d let you do that forevermore but they all miss who i was before
so it’s time i let you go but just know
i’m only doing this for them
[bridge]
how dare you look at me
like i’m all you’ve ever wanted
just to toss me out, abused and haunted
how dare you hold my hand
as you brand your name in my skin
you’re my hero, then you throw me back in the flames again
but third degree burns are better than a lifetime without you
would it be that bad without you?
i’ve always shown up followed by a trail of my blood up to your door
and you pretend like you don’t know who the scars are for
and that’s all i’ve ever known
as long as i got one whiff of your cologne
that was enough for me
but all of me was never enough for you
there’s some people though
that are waiting for me to come back home
i wanna get better for them
so this is when i say goodbye to you
i understand now that i have to
[chorus]
if i wanna try to fix myself
i think it’s time i admit i need help
and that starts with loosening my grip on you
i really don’t care that i’m not alright
but i just can’t bear the pain in their eyes
when they say i deserve more but i never thought less of you
’cause i fell in love with your beautiful eyes
and i became someone they don’t recognize
and i don’t wanna be just another stranger to my friends
i’ve been stuck watching our two ghosts dance
but i’m not giving you your hundredth chance
’cause it’s time i let you go but just know
i’m only doing this for them
