Christina Ricucci - Lemonade Lyrics

My mother planted a lemon tree in her backyard
Unfazed by the age of 3 I held onto her arm
Water it down, kiss my cheek, "hand a cup to your dad"
When did it all become so bad?
If your words are sewn under the deepest layer of my skin
How am I supposed to just forget?
All the sad & selfish promises
All the things we never did
How am I supposed to just forget?
So I'll take these lemons and I'll make some lemonade
Empty all my pennies & I save 'em for a rainy day
I'll put down my weapons offer you some lemonade
And you shoot me down but you know I love you anyway
I fell in love when I was 17 in the backseat
He was so beautiful to me
But like boiling water he slowly burned me
His hands went from safety to something to fear
But for 5 long years it was alright with me
If the scars you gave have reached the deepest layer of my skin
How am i supposed to just forget?
If every time another man touches me the way you did
Am I supposed to go along with it?
I don't know what to do with this
So I'll take these lemons and I'll make some lemonade
Empty all my pennies & I save 'em for a rainy day
I'll put down my weapons offer you some lemonade
And you shoot me down but you know I love you anyway
