you always catch on a little too late
when my scars have all healed
and my wrists don't ache

you always catch on a little too late
when my hair has grown long
and my nails aren't black paint

you always catch on a little too late
when my cheeks fill out
and i'm forcing on weight

you always catch on
when i don't need your help
when i don't need your hugs
when i don't need to break

you always catch on

a little too late.



(when i'm already dead
in the bed that you make)
