Lời bài hát thanK you aIMee
When I picture my hometown
There's a bronze, spray-tanned statue of you
And a plaque underneath it
That threatens to push me down the stairs
At our school
And it was always the same searing pain
But I dreamed that
One day, I could say
All that time you were throwin' punches
I was buildin' something
And I can't forgive
The way you made me feel
Screamed, Fuck you, Aimee
To the night sky
As the blood was gushing
But I can't forget
The way you made me heal
And it wasn't a fair fight
Or a clean kill each time
That Aimee stompеd across my grave
And then she wrotе headlines
In the local paper
Laughing at each baby step I'd take
And it was always the same searing pain
But I prayed that
One day, I could say
All that time you were throwin' punches
I was buildin' something
And I couldn't wait
To show you it was real
Screamed, Fuck you, Aimee
To the night sky
As the blood was gushing
But I can't forget
The way you made me heal
Everyone knows that
My mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say
She wished that you were dead
I pushed each boulder up the hill
Your words are still
Just ringing in my head
Ringing in my head
I wrote a thousand songs
That you find uncool
I built a legacy that you can't undo
But when I count the scars
There's a moment of truth
That there wouldn't be this
If there hadn't been you
And maybe you've reframed it
And in your mind
You never beat my spirit black and blue
I don't think you've changed much
And so I changed your name
And any real defining clues
And one day, your kid comes home singing
A song that only us two
Is gonna know is about you, 'cause
All that time you were throwin' punches
It was all for nothing
And our town
It looks so small from way up here
Screamed, Thank you, Aimee
To the night sky
And the stars are stunning
'Cause I can't forget
The way you made me heal
Everyone knows that
My mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say
She wished that you were dead
So I pushed each boulder up that hill
Your words were still
Just ringin' in my head
Ringin' in my head
Thank you, Aimee
Thank you, Aimee
