Adriana and the Wildflowers - Eggshells

I am sensitive
I don't wanna be
But I get drained so easily
I know I shouldn't let people get to me
But it's hard having so much empathy
Been walking on eggshells
Tread light my whole life
He worked all the time
While my momma cried
Tried so hard to help her
Tried most of my life
Been walking on
Eggshells, eggshells
Now I tread light
I've grown up a bit
Set some boundaries
Went 27 years without therapy
So it's hard for me
To say no more than once
To stop fawning
Will take more than a couple months
You see
Been walking on eggshells
Tread light my whole life
He worked all the time
While my momma cried
Tried so hard to help her
Tried most of my life
Been walking on
Eggshells, eggshells
Now I tread light
Sometimes she'd lock herself in her room
My sister would cry begging her to come out soon
Then she would stumble out the door
Grab her purse keys and leave
Left us scared and wondering what for
Been walking on eggshells
Tread light my whole life
He worked all the time
While my momma cried
Tried so hard to help her
Tried most of my life
Been walking on egg shells, eggshells
Now I tread light
