Joanna Sternberg - Stockholm Syndrome

When you told me goodbye
You did not even cry
Did you know all along
That you would do me wrong?

Plagued by a suicide
You used whiskey to hide
I asked you years ago
Till you stopped saying no

We'd get drunk every single night
Heading home, stumbling arm in arm
When you turned off the light
There was a roach crawling on my arm

I'd wake up, my throat dry
Dust would dance into my eye
With arms red as raw meat
From sleep scratching in the heat

I begged you not to leave
How will I ever believe anyone again?
Strangers, lovers or friends

Did you keep your room dirty
So I'd feel like I had the flu?
Did you expect me to clean it
Like your mom must've done for you?

Doo-doo-doo, dah-dee-dum
Doo-doo-doo, Stockholm syndrome
Doo-doo-doo, la-la-la
Fi-fo-fum, Stockholm syndrome
