Through the Wall

Through the Wall They said you’re sick in the head again Bad with the dark and the medicine Heard your name move through the kitchen wall Like they were waiting for you to fall Kept that hallway light burning low Like it could tell you what you should know By morning you were saying it too I heard them through the wall Say I’m no good at all They said I’m hard to keep Now I say it in my sleep Pretty boy by the window blue Every bad thing looks good on you Your mom still calls but you let it ring Too tired now to be anything Go outside with a smoke at four Come back sick to the same old floor Want a mean little love who won’t ask you why I heard them through the wall Say I’m no good at all They said I’m hard to keep Now I say it in my sleep Kept my shoes on half the night Like I might have to leave by first light Held my breath when the house got still Like a bad boy waiting on a bill You get so sad you can’t sit still So sad you think you always will I don’t know what they see in me Just something wrong and hard to keep I heard them through the wall Say I’m no good at all They said I’m hard to keep Now I say it in my sleep I heard them through the wall I heard them through the wall
