Soothe Yourself

I've been soother and I've been wife Tried to solve your life Stuck with you through your rainy days Thought that it was just a phase When the sun came out I tried To get away and fly But the needs we had did not subside What a way for our love to die I've been hiding behind my gifts I give until it starts to rip The skin is torn where I begin The thread is worn and might give in Underneath it all I feel the eyes Of all the things that I despise Can I fight them off with sticks and stones? Can I fight them off alone? Soothe yourself, soothe yourself, soothe yourself Now I'm thinking about my own advice If I could soothe myself it might be nice Callin' names ain't the same no more Took a look and locked that door Memories and cold hard facts Watched it all come rushing back All the times I told you what to do All the times I thought I knew Soothe yourself, soothe yourself, soothe yourself Soothe yourself Soothe yourself, soothe yourself, soothe yourself Yourself
