Million Little Bandaids

(album: Homesite - 2023)

One million little bandaids

When I was a child I was frozen as a stone
Scared to take a risk and fail, even in my home
I didn't know what to do with my sensitivity
So I just buried it down six feet deep

And the worst kinda hurt is to fail but not understand
Yeah, the worst kinda hurt is to think it's out of your hands
Baby, we got bigger plans

Let it hurt
Let it bleed
Let it be the fuel you need
To tell the truth
I know it's hard
But it's harder to cover up your heart
With one million little bandaids

Honesty is as oxygen to a seeking soul
Freedom that I'm craving is at war with my control
And every judgement builds an arsenal around my heart
And now where I sleep it's cold and dark

And the worst kinda hurt is to feel but not understand (Mhh)
Yeah, the worst kinda hurt is to think it's out of your hands
Baby, we got bigger plans

Let it hurt
Let it bleed
Let it be the fuel you need
Let the sunlight see your scars
Who told you that it was brave to live
With a lonely heart
With a lonely heart
With a lonely heart
With a lonely heart
With a lonely heart

Mhh
A lonely heart

Let it hurt
Let it bleed
Let it be the fuel you need
Let the sunlight see your scars
You ain't gotta live with a lonely heart
Let it go
Let it fly
Can't be worse than what you've tried
Let the sunlight see your scars
You ain't gotta live with a lonely heart
Let it hurt
Let it bleed
Let it be the fuel you need
Let the sunlight see your scars
You ain't gotta live with a lonely heart

So tell the truth
I know it's hard
But it's harder to cover up your heart
With one million little bandaids
