[Verse]
Tired of grasping for the things that never were meant to be mine
Think I'm done feeling bad for not protecting you before I was alive
Patch up the places where the kids would question the story behind
They don't need to read that I'd hate to see that
[Chorus]
Whether you know it or not
Your wounds are open
Way before I surfaced you got me with the same knife
So don't say I don't know what it feels like
[Verse]
Looking straight at it
I'll magnify it to understand
How you could love a stranger
More than your own daughter
That doesn't seem right
While you were annotating
I wonder if that ever crossed your mind
All she's ever done is tried
And tried
[Chorus]
Whether you know it or not
Your wounds are open
Way before I surfaced you got me with the same knife
So don't say I don't know what it feels like
