Remove Adsevelyn, as she states in ‘slapstick,’ is a ‘machine that turns trauma exclusively into power
chords.’
this track is simple, yes, but devastating & can be considered the album’s title track. most
definitely a crowd favorite at her live shows.

[Verse]
A5 G5 F5just a little bit longer it’s been so damn long, i've been running out of steam for a decade.
A5 G5 F5family dollar cashier stopped sayin’ “hi” in the mornings,
A5 G5 F5and i don't think i see a way back, not after all that you’ve done.
A5 G5 F5and i got so damn good at forgiveness but not good enough.
[Chorus]
G5 A5 F5just wanted you to love me like you love her hardly a person, hardly a daughter.

A5 G5 A5 F5someone taller crying please. . . please. . .

A5 G5think about the twinkle in your eye when the millennium comes,
F5 G5it would have been so pretty.
