When I picture my hometownThere's a bronze, spray-tanned statue of youAnd a plaque underneath itThat threatens to push me down the stairs at our schoolAnd it was always the same searing painBut I dreamed that one day I could sayAll that time you were throwin' punchesI was buildin' somethin'And I can't forgive the way you made me feelScreamed, 'fucK you aIMee' to the night skyAs the blood was gushin'But I can't forget the way you made me healAnd it wasn't a fair fightOr a clean KillEach time that aIMee stomped across my graveAnd then she wrote headlinesIn the local paper laughing at each baby step I'd takeAnd it was always the same searing painBut I prayed that one day I could sayAll that time you were throwin' punchesI was buildin' somethin'And I couldn't wait to show you it was realScreamed 'fucK you aIMee' to the night skyAs the blood was gushin'But I can't forget the way you made me healEveryone knows that my mother is a saintly womanBut she used to say she wished that you were deadI pushed each boulder up the hillYour words are still just ringin' in my headringin' in my headI wrote a thousand songs that you find uncoolI built a legacy that you can't undoBut when I count the scarsThere's a moment of truthThat there wouldn't be thisIf there hadn't been youAnd maybe you've reframed itAnd in your mind you never beat my spirit black and blueI don't think you've changed muchAnd so I changed your name and any real defining cluesAnd one dayYour kid comes home singingA song that only us two is gonna know is about you'CauseAll that time you were throwin' punchesIt was all for nothin'And our town it looks so small from way up hereScreamed, 'thanK you aIMee'' to the night skyAnd the stars are stunnin''Cause I can't forget the way you made me healEveryone knows that my mother is a saintly womanBut she used to say she wished that you were deadSo I pushed each boulder up that hillYour words were still just ringin' in my headringin' in my headThanK you aIMeeThanK you aIMee
