Thick Skin

Thanks to nights my dad went driving

While mom slept off the pills

And the demons in my sister

Made her say goodbye for real

And them months l slept inside my car

Somewhere in West LA

When my first love called to tell me

I'm the whore that got away

Well, guess what, babe?

I barely cut the grain

'Cause I got this thick skin, years in the making

I dare you to try me, babe, I can take it

Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking

I dare you try

Locked inside a rollercoaster

Been imprisoned by my fears

By some dude who hasn't had

A single hit in thirty years

Barely climbed out of a nightmare

I'm not ready for the grave

A lesser man would be so bitter

But it only made me brave

Well, now it's worth the price

You have me pay

'Cause I got this thick skin, years in the making

I dare you to try me, babe, I can take it

Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking

I dare you try

All I wanted is thick skin

I want this thick skin

All I wanted is thick skin

I want this thick skin

Because I got this thick skin, years in the making

I dare you to try me, babe, I can take it

Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking

I dare you try

All I wanted is thick skin

I want this thick skin

All I wanted is thick skin

I want this thick skin
