Cope lyrics

hold me underneath the water
rinse me till I`m clean
stretch my skin and scratch the surface
I promise I won`t bleed

I never wanted to be born into this
every time I hear your voice it makes me sick
beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist
I got to find a way to cope with all of this

shut the door and lock me out
I`ll throw away your key
on my own out in the cold
there`s no one left but me

I never wanted to be born into this
every time I hear your voice it makes me sick
beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist
I got to find a way to cope with all of this

I try not to cry

this is not just temporary
fear and denial remain
I`m now just twice as aware
of the abuse and the pain

this is not what I want to be
but you expected more from me
this is not what I want to be

I tried not to cry

I never wanted to be born into this
every time I hear your voice it makes me sick
beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist
I got to find a way to cope with all of this
