Ouch

Agonizing over every word I wanna say
Controlled by fears and consequences, feelings I'll betray

Flinch because I wonder when
Elbowed in the head again
Minding my own business on the couch
And I'm ashamed
That all I ever have to say is, "Ouch"

Forgetful, regretful, I'm filling your head full of doubts
"Why do you like me?"
But I like to complain, my low threshold for pain doesn't help
Darling, get off my knee

Flinch because I wonder when
Poked me in the eye again
Minding my own business on the couch
And I'm ashamed
That all I ever have to say is, "Ouch"

Well, it doesn't bother me quite as much as you think
I'm just extra sensitive after my second drink
And there's nothing I can do, 'cause I'm constantly annoyed
These heavy conversations, abrasions I avoid

Flinch because I wonder when
Kicked me in the shin again
Minding my own business on the couch
And I'm ashamed
That all I ever have to say is, "Ouch"

Agonizing over every word I wanna say
Controlled by fears and consequences, feelings I'll betray

Flinch because I wonder when
Elbowed in the head again
Minding my own business on the couch
And I'm ashamed
That all I ever have to say is...
