Guts - Leith Ross

I saw you at a party

So I waited in the kitchen for my friends

You wanted to say sorry

But I wanna see your body in a ditch

You held me down and told me

That I thought that you were handsome, but you're wrong

A friend called it a damn shame

'Cause you're really good at playing along

And if I had the guts I would've

Punched you in the backroom

Left you bleeding on the kitchen tiles

While I cleaned up in the bathroom

You thought you were an actor

Claimed a hammered body double

Then you wrote yourself a letter

To my name for all your trouble

I told my friend about you

He was so upset I thought he might've cried

But outside on the pavement

Well, it turned to "I like playing with the guy."

And I don't know about my body

It feels like the wrong parts were sent to me

All these feelings I can't name yet

Claimed and touched and played with in my sleep

And if I had the guts I would've

Said "you can't repair it"

Screamed and cried outside the venue

To make sure you were embarrassed

Acted just insane enough

For your friends to claim hysterics

And all the men who couldn't sleep with me

Would testify and swear it

But do their mothers know?

Do their mothers know?

I know it's not really her fault, but I

I do think that she'd cry if I called

I know it's really not her fault, but I

I do think that she'd cry if I called

And if I had the guts I would've

Punched you in the backroom

If I had the guts I would've

Punched you in the backroom

If I had the guts I would've

Punched you in the backroom

Left you bleeding on the kitchen tiles

While I cleaned up in the bathroom

You thought you were an actor

Claimed a hammered body double

Then you wrote yourself a letter

To my name for all your trouble

But does your mother know?

Does your mother know?
