Lyrics

Touch Myself

Heartbreak, gold mine
Might cry at the party, hope you don't mind
I'm okay in the sunlight
The memories are wasted in the nighttime
You said I should
Try to come again
But when I do
Dark thoughts creep on in
O-oh
And I know I could have someone else
In the shower of a cheap motel
But I'm scared to even touch myself
'Cause when I do, I think of you
O-oh
You're the best thing that I ever felt
The nostalgia's so bad for my health
I'm so scared to even touch myself
'Cause when I do, I think of you
O-oh
Velvet cushions
Just the feeling of them, oh my goodness
Up my insurance
Got therapy bills in the millions
You said I should
Try to come again
But when I do
Dark thoughts creep on in
O-oh
And I know I could have someone else
In the shower of a cheap motel
But I'm scared to even touch myself
'Cause when I do, I think of you
O-oh
You're the best thing that I ever felt
The nostalgia's so bad for my health
I'm so scared to even touch myself
'Cause when I do, I think of you
O-oh
Oooh
Oooh
'Cause when I do, I think of you
Hid my bullet
'Cause everything waist-down is broken
Don't need no batteries
'Cause the strap's in the trash with my self-esteem
O-oh
And I know I could have someone else
In the shower of a cheap motel
But I'm scared to even touch myself
'Cause when I do, I think of you
O-oh
You're the best thing that I ever felt
The nostalgia's so bad for my health
I'm so scared to even touch myself
'Cause when I do, I think of you
O-oh
Oooh
Oooh
'Cause when I do, I think of you
