Zoë Keating - Bigger on the Inside lyrics

[Verse 1] You'd think I'd shot their children From the way that they are talking And there's no point in responding Cause it will not make them stop [Verse 2] And I am tired of explaining And of seeing so much hating In the very same safe haven Where I used to just see helping [Verse 3] I've been drunk and skipping dinner Eating skin from off my fingers And I tried to call my brother But he no longer exists [Verse 4] I keep forgetting to remember That he would have been much prouder If he saw me shake these insults off Instead of getting bitter [Hook] I am bigger on the inside But you have to come inside to see me Otherwise you're only hating Other people's low-res copies [Verse 5] You'd think I'd learn my lesson From the way they keep on testing My capacity for pain And my resolve to not get violent [Verse 6] But though my skin is thickened Certain spots can still be gotten It is typically human of me Thinking I am different [Verse 7] To friends hooked up to hospital machines To fix their cancer And there is no better place than from this Waiting room to answer [Verse 8] The French kid who sent an email To the website late last night His father raped him and he's scared He asked me "How do you keep fighting?" [Verse 9] And the truth is I don't know I think it's funny that he asked me Cause I don't feel like a fighter lately I am too unhappy [Hook] You are bigger on the inside But your father cannot see You need to tell someone Be strong And somewhere some dumb rock star truly loves you [Verse 10] You'd think I'd get perspective From my view here by the bedside It is difficult to see the ones I love So close to d**h [Verse 11] All their infections and proscriptions And the will to live at all in question Can I not accept that my own problems Are so small? [Verse 12] You took my hand when you woke up I had been crying in the darkness We all die alone but I am so, so glad That you are here [Bridge] You whispered: [Hook] "We are so much bigger on the inside You, me, everybody Some day when you're lying where I am You'll finally get it, beauty We are so much bigger Than another one can ever see But Trying is the point of life So don't stop trying Promise me."
