more generous with my words less sure of what to say less infamous at parties for my alcohol intake less people to call friends but I feel more content
life just doesn't cut me at the knees
my clothes dry on a line cooking takes less time my apartment stays quite tidy and I spend more time outside and when my friends bring me some news of the life I chose to lose
life just doesn't cut me at the knees
more accepting of myself though I know I've done worse things found these blemishes on my body but these days I feel more clean more scared to go back home than forge a life here on my own
burned the wounds to seal them faster
life just doesn't cut me at the knees

burned the wounds to seal them faster
life just doesn't cut me at the knees
