It's just going on 10:43
And I absolutely can't fucking breathe
I'm just turning in these sheets
Feeling wretched hands all over me

I can still see your crooked teeth
And feel the weight of your leg
You choke me, I can't breathe
Though I cry and beg and plead

Dear God, I want to forget
I want to leave it behind
The memories and regret
Leave for no one to find

But I feel him all over me
I'm eleven all over again
And so clearly I can see
Why I'm so afraid of men

It's so hard for me to love
When all he did was shove
But I promise you I'm trying
So why can't I stop fucking crying?
