Lyrics Joan Jett and the Gits - Guilt Within Your Head

Guilt Within Your Head
(A. Kessler/M. Zapata/M. Dresdner/S. Moriarty)

Each time you fall the pieces are only more
And farther between
And those pieces won't hold together with all the
Guilt built in your head

I see you shake I see the paint underneath your fingernails
Scratching the walls scratching the moments that brought you here

Each time you thought you'd hold on
Trying to stay clean for someone
Maybe you should just take a look inside yourself
'Cause you create your own hell

I see them scurry while they're helping dig your grave
People are so quick to wave your weakness in your face
I'm here to tell you keep one step back from one day at a time
There's only so much above your head that you're suppose to carry

Each time you thought you'd hold on
Trying to stay clean for someone
Maybe you should just take a look inside your hell
'Cause you create your own self
