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 to settle
And when it counts you recoil
With the 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
