Smaller Than My Mother - Overcoats

He makes me smaller with every embrace that I ask for

Sit between the sheets of paper he writes on and I

I keep on shrinking and he stays the same

I keep on shrinking and he stays the same

Keeps every dollar he earns under his pillow while he sleeps

Fits me in the palm of his hand and I’m restless oh

I keep on shrinking and he stays the same

I keep on shrinking and he stays the same

He’s gonna make me watch him leave

Done all the things that he asked of me

He makes me fall, makes me fall to my knees

Smaller than my mother, he looks down on me

He drifts off slowly, it’s like he can’t talk in silence

Kicks me in his sleep as he dreams of another oh

I keep on shrinking and he stays the same

I keep on shrinking and he stays the same

He’s gonna make me watch him leave

Done all the things that he asked of me

He makes me fall, makes me fall to my knees

Smaller than my mother, he looks down on me

Used up all of my words

I can’t read him anymore

Used up all of my words

I can’t read him anymore
