Lyrics Saint Motel – Balsa Wood Bones
Text:
Somehow I can’t forget, you picked my feet off the ground,
You pushed my face in, and I nearly drowned.
What did that teach me?
And I just won’t forget, you were just mean from the start.
You’d leave me bleeding in the park after dark.
What did that teach me?
What did that teach me?
And somehow I can’t forget, you’d laugh right into my tears.
You’d call me sissy, then you’d call me a queer.
What did that teach me?
I just won’t forget, how it just made you feel good,
To snap my bones, like they were balsa wood.
What did that teach me?
And somehow I didn’t forget, I found out right where you live.
I rang the buzzer and I let myself in.
All that you taught me.
And I will never forget, the look of shock on your face;
I pulled the trigger and your life was erased.
What did that teach you?
