Why I Have My Grandma's Sad Eyes Lyrics - Wake Up The Sleepers - Kill Hannah

It started like this 

I was here, right, standing, leaning back 

My deer in the headlights, look never fails 

But hearing all the things that you said 

Cut me to the core, blew me away 

Like I got hit with a gunshot, like a bomb dropped 

Stabbed with a white hot knife in the heart 

While all these people still ask me, why? 

Why I have my grandma's sad eyes? 

Now you know why 

'Cause this time I didn't see it coming 

Couldn't stop the running words out your mouth 

They're leaving me crushed 

Sound louder than bombs hit harder than mack trucks 

On highways, knock me down 

Now like the chump with the black eye 

Hit with the uppercut 

It tastes like blood and a case 

Of ice cold pure devastation 

I may never stand up again 

I will never go out again, again 

Oh fuck, if this is the end 

Then I just want revenge 

I just want to take you down with me 

I've been so mad and furious 

Love must be just for idiots 

I'm shutting down, breaking down 

Getting out of this shit hole ghost town 

'Cause all these people still ask me, why? 

Why I have my grandma's sad eyes? 

I must have my grandma's sad eyes 

Why I have my grandma's sad eyes? 

Time's past, just like a gasp 

From some tiny cell inside that won't die 

Sending out a quiet ping like a submarine 

A lost transmission from a distant galaxy 

So reach way down in the dark 

To the bottom of my rotten heart 

To a place deep in my black lung 

For the song I haven't sung 

Since I was a little brat from Connecticut 

When I felt so alone against the world 

Picked always last 

It saved me then, will it save me now? 

It saved me then, will it save me now? 

It goes, universe, wrap your arms around me 

Make me strong so I can take on anyone 

Universe, wrap your arms around me 

Make me strong so I can take on anyone 

I must have my grandma's sad eyes 

I must have my grandma's sad eyes 

Now you know why, now you know why 

Now you know why, now you know why 

Now you know
