Thanks to nights that dad went driving
While mom slept off the pills
And the demons in my sister
Made her say goodbye for real
And those 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
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 had me pay
'Cause I got this thick skin
Years in the making
Dare you to try me
Babe, I can take it
Send in the big guns
I'll leave 'em shaking
I dare you try
I got this thick skin
It’s on my sleeve
I got this skin
(It’s just for me)
I got this thick skin
Years in the making
Dare you to try me
Babe, I can take it
Send in the big guns
I'll leave 'em shaking
I dare you try
I got this thick skin
It’s on my sleeve
I got this skin
(It’s just for me)
