He keeps it hidden
skin under skin under skin.
and if I could cut through
I know he'd leave me weeping
"tough" is a compliment,
here where he's from.
We don't say it without merit
scars and sad eyes to prove it.
He tells it like a punchline:
and we were starving,
and they beat me till I bled
and they told me I was trash.
And I know I'm supposed to laugh,
but he leaves me weeping.
