Backbone

from Part Animal by She Roars

lyrics

BACKBONE
Just another one of those no one wins fights
You say "but this time you've crossed the line"
"If you do that one more time,
Goddamnit I swear I don't know what I'm going to do"
And you've seen this before
He's already out the door
You will assert yourself
Next time you will assert yourself
Never pick it back up
You've never let go
Never taking shit
But never showing your backbone
You wear your best kicks
You never go out
No one ever calls you
You got lazy lips
But your tongue is strong
Commands conviction
And you don't show your body's souvenirs
To just anyone
Like he said
"You're stable stubborn sincere and so cold"
I hate to even quote him
You're just way too damn responsible.
Never what you meant
But you take it so slow
You're still waiting tables
Not caring but still waiting for
The time that you can up and leave
Not saying before doing
Cause there's so much at stake
Better leave with words to waste
On postcards home
Like I said
"They're just stuck in their ways"
I don't know what you've been doing girl
But you've been gone for days
And now everyone around you
Clench their worries through their teeth
As if it was back when you were young
And came home with tears
And scraped knees
You just keep saying that
"Everyone's a liar
And that their pants are on fire
Hanging off that telephone wire
On that street where you grew up"
And now that everything is strange
You want a life with a little less weight
Working just enough to keep in pace
And now you're starting to see
That it's never coming back.
