i've been soother
  and i've been wife
  tried to solve your life
  stuck with you through your rainy days
  thought that it was just a phase
  when the sun came out i tried
  to get away and fly
  but the needs we had did not subside
  what a way for our love to die
    i've been hiding behind my gifts
  i give until it starts to rip
  the skin is torn where i begin
  the thread is worn and might give in
  underneath it all i feel the eyes
  of all the things that i despise
  can i fight them off with sticks and stones?
  can i fight them off alone?
    soothe yourself [x3]
    now i'm thinking about my own advice
  if i could soothe myself it might be nice
  callin' names ain't the same no more
  took a look and locked that door
  memories and cold hard facts
  watched it all come rushing back
  all the times i told you what to do
  all the times i thought i knew
    soothe yourself [x4]
    soothe yourself [x3]
