What bạn 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 bạn go away
Turned yourself in
You're no good at confession
Before the image that bạn burned me in
Tries to teach bạn a lesson
What bạn 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 bạn 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
bạn were searching out my imperfections
What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff
bạn came upon me like a hypnic jerk
When I was just about settled
And when it counts bạn recoil
With a cryptic word and leave a tình yêu belittled
Oh what a cold and common old way to go
I was feeding on the need for bạn to know me
Devastated at the rate bạn fell below me
What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff
Oh, well
See myself something different
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won't listen
Won't bạn go away
Turned yourself in
You're no good at confession
Before the image that bạn burned me in
Tries to teach bạn a lesson
What bạn 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 bạn 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
bạn were searching out my imperfections
What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff
bạn came upon me like a hypnic jerk
When I was just about settled
And when it counts bạn recoil
With a cryptic word and leave a tình yêu belittled
Oh what a cold and common old way to go
I was feeding on the need for bạn to know me
Devastated at the rate bạn fell below me
What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuff
Oh, well
tình yêu ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when bạn are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over,
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
My hand won't hold bạn down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when bạn are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over,
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
My hand won't hold bạn down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
So be it, I'm your crowbar
If thats what I am so far
Until bạn get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I dont know of your sins
Until bạn are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
And bạn can use my skin
To bury your secrets in
And I will settle bạn down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
i'll know, I'll know
Baby-I can't help bạn out, while she's still around
So for the time being, I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll consider this-even if it dont make sense
All the time-give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait bởi the backstage door
While bạn try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For bạn to find bạn tình yêu me, and tell me so
It's ok, dont need to say it
If thats what I am so far
Until bạn get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I dont know of your sins
Until bạn are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know
And bạn can use my skin
To bury your secrets in
And I will settle bạn down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
i'll know, I'll know
Baby-I can't help bạn out, while she's still around
So for the time being, I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll consider this-even if it dont make sense
All the time-give it time

And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For bạn to find bạn tình yêu me, and tell me so
It's ok, dont need to say it
