I stopped reading ‘cause of you,
Even though you didn’t ask me to.
You didn’t need to.
You didn’t need to.
I stopped eating ‘cause of you,
Even though you’d never ask me to,
Just to please you
Just to please you
I was changing my tires so I could drive
In case you wanted ice cream
I kept pushing myself until I was on fire
Just to make sure you’d never make a scene
You’d never make a scene
I stopped achieving ‘cause of you,
Even though you didn’t ask me to.
You didn’t need to.
You didn’t need to.
I stopped dreaming ‘cause of you,
Even though you’d never ask me to,
Just to please you
Just to please you
I was changing my tires so I could drive
In case you wanted ice cream
I kept pushing myself until I was on fire
Just to make sure you’d never make a scene
You’d never make a scene
I stopped feeling ‘cause of you,
Even though you didn’t ask me to.
You didn’t need to.
You didn’t need to.
I stopped breathing ‘cause of you,
Even though you’d never ask me to,
Just to please you
Just to please you
I was changing my tires so I could drive
In case you wanted ice cream
I kept pushing myself until I was on fire
Just to make sure you’d never make a scene
You’d never make a scene
You didn’t need to
You didn’t need to

Kept Going

What happened was
We just kept going.
Breathlessly,
We just kept going. We just kept going.
Against all odds,
We just kept going.
We had to stop,
But we just kept going. We just kept going.
I didn't mean to make your burdens
So much more than I could bear
I thought that I could make you love me,
But that lie's beyond repair.
Our minds were brighter
(We just kept going)
When we were younger
(We just kept going. We just kept going.)
She said to me as she
(We just kept going)
She turned to leave
(We just kept going. We just kept going.)
I didn't mean to make your burdens
So much more than I could bear
I thought that I could make you love me,
But that lie's beyond repair.
What happened was
We just kept going.
Endlessly, we
We just kept going. We just kept going.
We searched and sought.
We just kept going.
Fraught, we fought,
But we just kept going. We just kept going.
I didn't mean to make your burdens
So more more than I could bear
I thought that I could make you love me,
But that lie's beyond repair.
I didn't mean to make your burdens
So much more than I could bear
I thought that I could make you happy,
But that, that lie's beyond repair.
We just kept going.
We just kept going. We just kept going.
We just kept going.
We just kept going. We just kept going.

Prodigal Sunscreen Portland, Oregon
Prodigal Sunscreen is one of the creative outlets for a former high school English teacher turned busker in pursuit of vague dreams of happiness.
Prodigal Sunscreen recommends:
Get Lonely
by the Mountain Goats
Every single song understands some deep pain I experience and makes me feel like it will all be okay because I'm lonely but not alone.
go to album
Little Plastic Castle
by Ani DiFranco
This is the first album that helped me to express my feelings about my gender and my sexuality. It helped me to love myself and to pick my battles carefully and necessarily.

Transcendental Youth
by the Mountain Goats
Start to finish, one of my favorite albums of all time. I don't have words for how much this fell into my life at exactly the moment I needed it.
