Your mama came running out of the house
A wild look in her eyes
The trail went all the way down the block
'Till she sat right down and cried
Curtains swaying in every window
Cracked Venetian blinds
Yeah, it could be any one of us
With a broken mind
Yeah, it could be any one of us
With a broken mind
Then I learned about mercy
I learned about mercy
For everyone else and for myself
I learned about mercy
Yeah, I was just a kid then
Skinnin' my knees in Blueberry Hills
Tried to make a little sense
But my heart got crushed when the cat got killed
Was a mean man down the block
With his keep out sign and his poisoned milk
How I learned to keep the door locked
The thought of it still gives me chills
Then I learned about darkness
I learned about darkness
Baby like sick, give me a kiss
I learned about darkness
Sometimes I don't know how to be
How to shut my mouth, how to let things breathe
And it gets so hard to see with my history standing in front of me
Oh, whoa
I always fought with my sisters
One knuckle of nonsense, hands full of blisters
We felt like strangers
And they still do now and sometimes they're saviors
Sometimes they're saviors
And I learned about changing
I learned about changing
You win some, you lose
Cry about things that used to be fun
But you're changing
Yeah, we're changing
We're changing
