Alex G - Nineteen Lyrics






I'm tired of playing the part,
Of a little girl who, can't use her heart.
I'm broken, torn and scarred,
From all the poison, you threw at us.

But you won't know, cuz you can't see,
the tattered child, you've made of me.

You'll follow me, into my dreams
And spit your words, so desperately.
I'll wash my hands of this tragic mess.
And truth can't cure the blind, if they don't care to see.

Nineteen years inside this flesh,
I fought through pain, I've paid my dues,
But that's still not enough for you.
So where do we go from here?
You won't keep me trapped in my fears.

You're sinking in, your selfishness.
We're tainted by, words left unsaid.

You'll follow me, into my dreams.
And spit your words, so desperately
I'll wash my hands of this tragic mess.
And truth can't cure the blind, if they don't care to see.

Did you even notice, the look in my eyes,
When I spoke of him for the very first time?
And do you remember, when you were my age?
Do you remember at all?

Don't follow me into my dreams,
And spit your words so viciously,
I'll wash my hands of this tragic mess,

But truth can't cure the blind,
truth can't cure the blind,
I wish you'd change your mind,
But you don't care to see.

    I'm reading the song and I think "What if this is a poem." so I reed it as a poem and it is a really good peom

  7. C.... B....

    I feel like this song is about the boyfriend that she had for 4 years and the problems it caused between her and her family ....I remember her just talking about that in one of her videos but idk if that is what this song is about.

  8. L.... E....

    I'd love to learn more about the school you and your peers went to. Y'all must have excellent voice coaches/teachers. I'd like to see you with different styles of music.

    This song hit home for me in a really personal way.

    There was a guy who messed me up really bad a few years ago and the trauma still sticks with me. I'm engaged now to a wonderful guy <3 but there are so many times when the bad memories and his words come back into my head and affect my current relationship,

    This song affected me in a really positive way. Thank you.
