[length: 04:24]
[00:11.12]When I picture my hometown
[00:14.98]There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you
[00:21.19]And a plaque underneath it
[00:24.90]That threatens to push me down the stairs at our school
[00:29.31]And it was always the same searing pain
[00:37.37]But I dreamed that one day, I could say
[00:40.84]All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
[00:47.46]And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel
[00:50.42]Screamed, “Fuck-you, Aimee” to the night sky as the blood was gushin’
[00:57.35]But I can’t forget the way you made me heal
[01:11.26]And it wasn’t a fair fight, or a clean kill
[01:16.18]Each time that Aimee stomped across my grave
[01:21.38]And then, she wrote headlines
[01:24.86]In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I’d take
[01:29.37]And it was always the same searing pain
[01:37.46]But I prayed that one day, I could say
[01:40.83]All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
[01:47.42]And I couldn’t wait to show you it was real
[01:50.45]Screamed, “Fuck-you, Aimee” to the night sky as the blood was gushin’
[01:57.34]But I can’t forget the way you made me heal
[02:00.98]Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
[02:07.26]But she used to say she wished that you were dead
[02:10.59]I pushed each boulder up the hill
[02:13.03]Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head
[02:19.99]I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool
[02:24.84]I built a legacy which you can’t undo
[02:30.08]But when I count the scars, there’s a moment of truth
[02:34.65]That there wouldn’t be this, if there hadn’t been you
[02:51.34]And maybe you’ve reframed it
[02:54.98]And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue
[03:01.47]I don’t think you’ve changed much
[03:05.06]And so, I changed your name, and any real defining clues
[03:09.46]And one day, your kid comes home singin’
[03:15.06]A song that only us two is gonna know is about you, ’cause
[03:20.75]All that time you were throwin’ punches, it was all for nothin’
[03:27.36]And our town, it looks so small from way up here
[03:30.42]Screamed, “Thank you, Aimee” to the night sky, and the stars are stunnin’
[03:37.50]’Cause I can’t forget the way you made me heal
[03:40.74]Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
[03:47.36]But she used to say she wished that you were dead
[03:50.34]So, I pushed each boulder up that hill
[03:53.09]Your words were still just ringin’ in my head, ringin’ in my head
[04:02.14]Thank you, Aimee
[04:07.02]Thank you, Aimee
