Can'T Hurt Me

I used to believe when I was young
That I could be more than what I was
Then it came, it punctured me
Cut me down and clipped my wings

My roots are here, this house decays
Your anger echoes through my veins
Saying I'm less than I should be
Your house just rots, soon I'll break free

You can't hurt me, I'm stronger now
Channeled the pain that time allowed
Stab it again, it won't break through
The scars have faded, surpassing you

My best friend across the street
Just moved to another state
The childhood we shared now bittersweet
This radiant town is fading out

Why does everyone leave?
Memories whisper but never speak
The dreams I had now feel so weak
Like distant stars out of reach

You can't hurt me, I'm stronger now
Channeled the pain that time allowed
Stab it again, it won't break through
The scars have faded, surpassing you

Is this love or a fleeting rush?
You felt my warmth but you're the wind
Stay away, a spark will catch
Too wild to hold, it'll burn too fast

She took me to the waterbed
Just to burn a hole in my head
Like the others it left me cold
Watching as my fire's growing old

You can't hurt me, I'm stronger now
Channeled the pain that time allowed
Stab it again, it won't break through
The scars have faded, surpassing you
You're just a scar that used to bleed
Now the pain is gone and I am free
You can't hurt me anymore
It's bled so much that I'm torn

So go ahead and stab it again
Does not hurt me anymore
It's just a scar that used to bleed
Now the pain is gone and I am free

Let's bleed it out so you feel free
Let's drown in what we could be
We'd run through yards and climb some trees
Let's celebrate the growth of you and me
