Lyrics Everclear – You

All the scars on my body and soul
All the trouble I’ve known
All the evil things that I say and do
All comes back to

A little boy, back when life was new to me
Hiding in my room, waiting for my mom to leave
I learned to lie, to save her from the truth
I was raped when I was eight years old
On a sunny afternoon

I fall back to the black and white of
Here and now I need to calm down
I think I need to calm down
I’m on my old street
A past that is so hard for me
Looking for a place
That I really do not ever want to see

All the scars on my body and soul
All the trouble I’ve known
All the evil things I say and do
It all brings me closer to… you

The house is empty as I walk inside
I don’t want to be here
I want to stay in denial
I see my demons smiling in the gloom
I have to face this thing
Or I will never leave this room I…see…me
Playing with the older boys
In a house where my mom had told me not to go
They started hurting me
And laughing as they held me down

All the scars on my body and soul
All the trouble I have ever known
All the fucked up things I say and do
All brings me closer to you
To you

I am screaming at the mirror
Looking in the eyes of you. Yeah you
I give my joy, all my shame
All the credit and the blame
To you

Now I know why I’m addicted to pain
Yeah I know I am addicted to everything
Now I know what I have to do
I have to kill the monsters for you. For you
I will forgive those damaged boys
That did this awful thing to you. To you
I have to fix this broken heart
I need to be just like a father to you. To you
I have to fix this broken heart
I will always be a safe place for you. For you
I will always be your champion
I will always kill the monsters for you. For you
I give my joy all my shame
All the credit and the blame. To you

Twisted, broken, angry, and free
I am twisted, broken, angry and free
Twisted, broken, angry and free
