hurt feelings

Halsey

My dad is almost home
I can t tell time yet, but I know
Because the air becomes electric
and my mother cleans the stove
He ll walk in through the door
and both my eyes will find the floor
And I will search my brain to find something
I might get yelled at for
He ll come in with a frown and tell me
Sit your ass right down
Or he might get his kicks from joking
that he s just playin around
And in a few years I will leave
but I ll perpetually believe
That any man who says he loves me
is hidin somethin up his sleeve

Wash me in the water
You can cut off all my hair
And I ll be changin like the weather
But I ll never be like him

The other girls date older guys and wear
their T-shirts late at night
But everything I own that s oversize
belongs to me, it s mine
And I don t have souvenirs of all the earliest of years
You know my father isn t dead
but it don t feel like he s still here
It s strange now that he s grey and getting older by the day
And my eyes tell me that he s harmless
despite what my heart has to say

So maybe just forget
Maybe move on, don t regret
Or maybe this is just another trick
That hasn t happened yet

Wash me in the water
You can cut off all my hair
And I ll be changin like the weather
But I ll never be like him

Cause blood is thick but water is forever
And I m stiffer than a board, lighter than a feather
And that girl will be a problem only if you let her
And I left her back home but I cannot forget her

I thought that it was my fault
And now sometimes I still do
You didn t chase me through the park
So now I m chasin after you
But I can t keep up the illusion
Or confirm your point of view
Oh, I can t bear to fake a smile when you walk into the room

Cause blood is thick but water is forever
And I m stiffer than a board, lighter than a feather
And that girl will be a problem only if you let her
And I left her back home but I cannot forget her

Wash me in the water
You can cut off all my hair
And I ll be changin like the weather
But I ll never be like him

Cause blood is thick but water is forever
And I m stiffer than a board, lighter than a feather
And that girl will be a problem only if you let her
And I left her back home but I cannot forget her
