Gowns - Cherylee

From the album "Red State"

She is crying at the kitchen table
I can't stand to think about
The way I let those men touch me
I can't stand to think about
The way they touched me
I can't even see their faces anymore
I can't stand thinking about
The way I let them see me

I cannot stop thinking
I should have been waiting the whole time
If I had known you were coming into my life
I would have been waiting for you the whole time

You've gotta look it in the eyes and say that I don't believe
You've gotta hold it underwater so you'll see where it bleeds
You've gotta stare into the mirror until you name this disease
You gotta know

You've gotta write down all your symptoms even though it's obscene
You've gotta stay there underwater 'till you get yourself clean
You've gotta keep on going 'till you feel finally free

You've gotta look it in the eyes and say that I don't believe
You've gotta look up at the water 'till you can't hardly see
You've gotta keep on walking, you'll forget about me
You gotta know
