They say it takes a person seven tries to leave it
I can remember at least five
You drew back the curtain on my adolescence
And condemned me to my working life
But for love I was never wanting
Rich in my blood it burst
And all you wanted was to take it from me
But you never thought to ask first

Now everyone is heading out
And you're underwater
Taking care of what they know
And you're underwater
No one wants to be that mad at you anymore
Helicopter's circling and you're underwater
You're underwater, and you won't find me

Turned my head in time to see you try and take it
But the sun shone through my eyes
Took a year off everything to shrug it off me
Now I forget you all the time

Everyone is heading out
Taking care of what they know
No one wants to be that mad
I was never really really really at home

I take on your anger and hurt
Oh mama it's getting worse
I take on your anger and hurt
I'm never really really at home
I take on your anger and hurt
Oh mama it's getting worse
I take on your anger and hurt
I'm never really really at home

Turned my head in time to see you try and take it
But the sun shone through my eyes
They say it takes a person seven tries to leave it
I can remember at least five
