Stitches Lyrics by MAFFI

The Tide

2014

[Hook]
Excuse me, nurse can you fix me up
Got a deep wound located in my heart
I don't know how to fix it
So please patch me up like stitches
[Verse 1]
Some days I ache, I'm taken down by chest pains
Drop to my knees, struggling to breathe
Raise my head up high, not to seem weak
But I am weak, the hurt is so deep
I don't know where it comes from but it sticks
Tell me what to let go, tell me what to keep
To myself and what to tell to the world
I don't know why, like my world is in a twirl
In a whirlpool, in a bird cage
I keep my rage locked up in a safe place
Not to burst wide open in the worst way
I can't tell why, I guess I rather let this hurt stay
Shit, I guess I cursed
They can't understand me they just appreciate my word play
I share my pain with you if you promise you'll fix me
Rip the wounds wide open, remove the stitches, now listen
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
As a child, I didn't feel much appreciated
No matter how hard I tried, somehow I always felt hated
Not by the ladies in my life, they loved as mothers do
But rather by myself, I guess that's why I wasn't fooled
By no one who told me that I was gifted
I said "Thank you" but in my mind I thought "shit 'em"
They just pity me, cause I'm from a place no one usually leaves
They can't get out, cause there's no help
No support, that's how I felt
So I had to keep climbing higher, on them steps
Just to get to square one, then get started
Just to have the same chances other people had
Not to feel bad cause off my background
I wanted people to stop asking me "Why isn't your dad around?"
I told 'em "I don't have a dad, I don't need one"
Some pain is gone now, bye gotta run
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I always got by, I thought I needed to
I thought I needed no one, but I needed you
I suppose you needed to, do what you did
But you could've thought of us, when you left us in the shit
