Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What you did to me

Made me see myself something different

And though I try to talk sense to myself

But I just won't listen

Won't you go away, turn yourself in?

You're no good at confession

Before the image that you burned me in

Tries to teach you a lesson

[Verse 2]

What you did to me

Made me see myself something 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 out-bidded

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

You came upon me like a hypnic jerk

When I was just about settled

When it counts, you recoil with a cryptic word

And leave a love belittled

[Verse 5]

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

Oh well
