Needle Pusher

I've just been taking my time
Stitching a fabric no thread is out of line
But I think that I-
That I might just be the reason

For my patchwork, patchwork
Needle pushing through, to fix myself
She said, "you'll never be good enough"
"Never stand straight enough"
Once over she's out the door

Why can't I
Be the pony the want from me
City slicking
I've been stitching
Easy, easy
All my best but there's still dirt in my eyes from you

Raindrops they bounce right off my back
Seep into the wounds than I've been mending
One touch of life is all it takes
To recognize the life they take from me
I'm more than, "just another victim"
I'm doing ok, can't you see?
I've been confessing overstepping ghosts of yours
In a world not made for me

She said, "you'll never be good enough"
"Never stand straight enough"
Once over she's out the door

Why can't I
Be the pony the want from me
City slicking
I've been stitching
Easy, easy
All my best but there's still dirt in my eyes from you
