Why I Have My Grandma's Sad Eyes - Kill Hannah

It started like this

I was here right, standing leaning back

My deer in the headlights

Look never fails but hearing all the things that you said

Cut me to the core, blew me away

Like I got hit with a gunshot, like a bomb dropped

Stabbed with a white hot knife in the heart

While all these people still ask me why I have my grandma’s sad eyes

Now you know why cause this time

I didn’t see it coming

Couldn’t stop the running words out your mouth

They’re leaving me crushed

Sound louder than bombs hit harder than mack trucks

On highways knock me down now

Like the chump with the black eye hit with the uppercut

It tastes like blood and a case of ice cold pure devastation

I may never stand up again

I will never go out again, again

Oh fuck if this is the end, then I just want revenge

I just want to take you down with me

I’ve been so mad and furious love must be just for idiots

I’m shutting down, breaking down getting out of this shit hole ghost town

Cause all these people still ask me why I have my grandma’s sad eyes

I must have my grandma’s sad eyes

Time’s past, just like a gasp from some tiny cell inside

That won’t die sending out a quiet ping like a submarine

A lost transmission from a distant galaxy

So reach way down in the dark to the bottom of my rotten heart

To a place deep in my black lung for the song

I haven’t sung since I was a little brat from connecticut

When I felt so alone against the world picked always last

It saved me then will it save me now

It goes, universe, wrap your arms around me

Make me strong so I can take on anyone

I must have my grandma’s sad eyes

Now you know why

Now you know
