Lyrics of I taught myself how to grow old

Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
In the wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail
Sometimes i feel like i'm going insane
Without the numbness or the pain so intense to feel
'specially now it added up through the years

And i, i taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Now i'm crooked on the outside and the inside's broke

Most of the time i got nothing to say
When i do it's nothing and nobody's there to listen anyway
I know i'm probably better off this way
I just listen to the voices on the tv 'til i'm tired
My eyes grow heavy and i fade away

'cause i, i taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Though i was crooked on the outside

I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
'til i was crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Crooked on the outside, inside is caved
I taught myself how to grow old
