Won't Hurt Myself

(album: Are We Gonna Be Alright? - 2022)

Why did I dive in? I hit my head
On the bottom of the shallow end
Gave myself brain freeze when I ate the ice too quick
And I didn't see it coming

I want a gun under my pillow
Watching too much Tarantino
And every day's like Halloween
But I just wanna leave the party

Oh, I won't hurt myself the way you want me to
And give away my heart just like I always do
And now I feel nothing
And I'm losing sleep
But I'm better off without it
I, I won't hurt myself for you

It's like I'm playing Scrabble trying to make a word
Using the consonants
I put my fingers in the oven to feel something
I'm getting nothing

Oh, I won't hurt myself the way you want me to
And give away my heart just like I always do
And now I feel nothing
And I'm losing sleep
But I'm better off without it
I, I won't hurt myself for you

I'm like the pieces of a jigsaw
Taking me hours to piece it back together
I'm putting the liquor in the cupboard
'Cause I don't need it, I don't need it anymore

Oh, I, I, I won't hurt myself for you
And give away my heart just like I always do
And now I feel nothing
And I'm losing sleep
But I'm better off without it
I, I won't hurt myself for you
