lyrics

It kinda hurts when you tell me
"Unpleasant truths" you think I need to hear
All tied up with a bow

And it kinda hurts when the darts land
One between the eyes, and one in each ear
Nestled into the bone

But I don't believe you have a point
I don't believe you have a point
No I don't believe you have a point
Not even a little point

It kinda hurts when you tell me
That I'll never mean much at all to you
Even worse than the darts

And it kinda hurts like a car crash
It's a sudden impact to the chest
Before all turns to dark

Cos I'm not indestructible
In fact I'm pretty much averagely vulnerable
And despite all the tough talk, this is
Rapidly becoming unbearable

So I might need to find a place to stay
Just for a while
Just 'til I've steadied the ship and decided whether it's worth
Patching the holes
Or whether to give it all up as a lost cause
Lay her to rest on the sea bed
Cos I need more light
