Letra de thanK you aIMee
When I picture my hometown There's a bronze spray-tanned statue of you And a plaque underneath it That threatens to push me down the stairs at our schoolAnd it was always the same searing pain But I dreamed that one day, I could sayAll that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' And I can't forgive the way you made me feel Screamed, "Fuck-you, Aimee" to the night sky as the blood was gushin' But I can't forget the way you made me healAnd it wasn't a fair fight, or a clean kill Each time that Aimee stomped across my grave And then, she wrote headlines In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I'd takeAnd it was always the same searing pain But I prayed that one day, I could sayAll that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' And I couldn't wait to show you it was real Screamed, "Fuck-you, Aimee" to the night sky as the blood was gushin' But I can't forget the way you made me healEveryone knows that my mother is a saintly woman But she used to say she wished that you were dead I pushed each boulder up the hill Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my headI wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool I built a legacy which you can't undo But when I count the scars, there's a moment of truth That there wouldn't be this, if there hadn't been youAnd maybe you've reframed it And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue I don't think you've changed much And so, I changed your name, and any real defining clues And one day, your kid comes home singin' A song that only us two is gonna know is about you, 'causeAll that time you were throwin' punches, it was all for nothin' And our town, it looks so small from way up here Screamed, "Thank you, Aimee" to the night sky, and the stars are stunnin' 'Cause I can't forget the way you made me healEveryone knows that my mother is a saintly woman But she used to say she wished that you were dead So, I pushed each boulder up that hill Your words were still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in my headThank you, Aimee Thank you, Aimee
