JAPANESE BREAKFAST
"Soft Sounds From Another Planet"
(Michelle Zauner)

I wish I could keep you from abusing yourself for no reason at all
Counting backwards, things you endured
Pitting them up against happier lives

[Chorus 1:]
That's not the way to hurt me
That's not the way to hurt me
I'll show you the way to hurt me

In search of a soft sound from another planet
In search of a quiet place to lay this to rest
Striving for goodness while the cruel men win
There's no part of me left that can feel or hear it

[Chorus 2:]
They'll never let you hurt me
They'll never let you hurt me
I'll never let you hurt me
(Hurt me)
