When I picture my hometown

There's a bronze spray-tanned statue of you

And a plaque underneath it

That threatens to push me down the stairs at our school

And it was always the same searing pain

But I dreamed that one day I could say

All that time you were throwin' punches

I was buildin' somethin'

And I can't forgive the way you made me feel

Screamed you aIMee to the night sky

As the blood was gushin'

But I can't forget the way you made me heal

And it wasn't a fair fight

Or a clean Kill

Each time that aIMee stomped across my grave

And then she wrote headlines

In the local paper laughing at each baby step I'd take

And it was always the same searing pain

But I prayed that one day I could say

All that time you were throwin' punches

I was buildin' somethin'

And I couldn't wait to show you it was real

Screamed you aIMee to the night sky

As the blood was gushin'

But I can't forget the way you made me heal

Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

But she used to say she wished that you were dead

I pushed each boulder up the hill

Your words are still just ringin' in my head ringin' in my head

I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool

I built a legacy that you can't undo

But when I count the scars

There's a moment of truth

That there wouldn't be this

If there hadn't been you

And maybe you've reframed it

And in your mind you never beat my spirit black and blue

I don't think you've changed much

And so I changed your name and any real defining clues

And one day

Your kid comes home singing

A song that only us two is gonna know is about you

'Cause all that time you were throwin' punches

It was all for nothin'

And our town it looks so small from way up here

Screamed thanK you aIMee to the night sky

And the stars are stunnin'

'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal

Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

But she used to say she wished that you were dead

So I pushed each boulder up that hill

Your words were still just ringin' in my head ringin' in my head

ThanK you aIMee

ThanK you aIMee
