lyrics

born without a spine / at times, i wished you never had me / you longed for something small to squeeze / you'd do the same today / grew up trying to grow one / you wished you never blinked / you blame it all on someone else / for once, i feel like me

you told me stories of a bottle that was passed from man to son / somehow you wished to pass it on to one of your own / you insisted he was sick / i never saw him try to sip / nineteen, i'd never tasted it but finally i did

you taught me of the perfect man who lives up in the sky / how we should live to please him but he'll never tell us why / you taught the book at face value / i was young, i tried so hard / it didn't cure the emptiness that lives inside my heart

you wanted me / you cared for me / you told me i was something / you tucked me into bed at night / you held me when i cried / you love me and i'm lucky but there's more to it than that / that's why i could use some space / is it alright if i don't call this week?
