Maths Exams lyrics by Sunny Side Down

My feet are sinking through the ground
Drinking on kerbsides, failing our maths exams
They never taught me how to be
They never taught me how to treat you the way you deserved

Crying in cinemas, telling them you’re proud
Before it swallows me up whole my feet are firmly on the ground
I’ll see you in the ring I want to see you swing
And if it doesn’t leave a mark I’ll be back for seconds

But my cheeks hurt
My tongue is tied
My guard is on the floor
And if this feels right
Then why should it need anything more

And you said that I should take bettеr care of myself
I’ll get attachеd, won’t watch my back, I’ll never love again
But I think I’ll be much better with you by my side
Brush-tongued and bleary-eyed

I’ll bleach my hair, I’ll take your photos off the wall
But when they stare I can’t promise I won’t fall
Chest binders, nose bleeds in bathroom stalls
No one told me pleasure tastes like metal

When will these affirmations make me feel sane again
I’m trying not to douse the wall with my brains
I can’t find a way for us to be okay
But if you hold my hand like that maybe they’ll stay away

And you said that I should take better care of myself
I’ll get attached, won’t watch my back, I’ll never love again
But I think I’ll be much better with you by my side
Brush-tongued and bleary-eyed

But my cheeks hurt
My tongue is tied
My guard is on the floor
And if this feels right
Then why should it need anything more
