Cope Lyrics - Singles - Tallman

hold me underneath the water 

rinse me till I'm clean 

stretch my skin and scratch the surface 

I promise I won't bleed 

I never wanted to be born into this 

every time I hear your voice it makes me sick 

beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist 

I got to find a way to cope with all of this 

shut the door and lock me out 

I'll throw away your key 

on my own out in the cold 

there's no one left but me 

I never wanted to be born into this 

every time I hear your voice it makes me sick 

beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist 

I got to find a way to cope with all of this 

I try not to cry 

this is not just temporary 

fear and denial remain 

I'm now just twice as aware 

of the abuse and the pain 

this is not what I want to be 

but you expected more from me 

this is not what I want to be 

I tried not to cry 

I never wanted to be born into this 

every time I hear your voice it makes me sick 

beaten by an open hand, I raise a fist 

I got to find a way to cope with all of this
