What you did to me made me See myself something different Though I try to talk sense to myself But I just won't listen
Won't you go away Turned yourself in You're no good at confession Before the image that you burned me in Tries to teach you a lesson
What you did to me made me see myself somethin' awful A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidded
My peace and quiet was stolen from me When I was looking with calm affection You were searching out my imperfections
What wasted unconditional love On somebody Who doesn't believe in the stuff
You came upon me like a hypnic jerk When I was just about settled And when it counts you recoil With a cryptic word and leave a love belittled
Oh what a cold and common old way to go I was feeding on the need for you to know me Devastated at the rate you fell below me
What wasted unconditional love On somebody Who doesn't believe in the stuff
