Lyrics

[00:53.97] You made, you made your overtures
[00:55.69] When you were a chauven'd overtoned mutt
[00:57.06]
[00:59.44] And I was still a dewy petal
[01:01.32] Rather than a moribund slut
[01:02.56]
[01:04.94] My love wrecked you
[01:06.01] You're back to twirl your skirt at the palace
[01:08.02]
[01:10.40] It hurt more than it ought to hurt
[01:11.78] I went to work to cultivate a callous
[01:13.27]
[01:15.59] And now I'm hot, too hot and oh
[01:21.15] I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
[01:26.55]
[01:27.67] Tears calcify in my tummy
[01:31.52]
[01:32.96] Fears go inside the bottle
[01:35.46]
[01:38.71] How can I ask anyone to love me
[01:43.79]
[01:44.98] When all I do is beg to be left alone
[01:48.05]
[01:56.99] Oh and I tried to love
[01:59.98]
[02:01.42] And I can love the same man
[02:03.42] and the same bed and the same city
[02:05.29] But not in the same room it's a pity but oh
[02:08.29]
[02:09.55] It never bothered me before
[02:11.17]
[02:12.86] Not 'til this guy
[02:14.48] What a guy
[02:15.17] Oh God what a good guy
[02:16.61] And I can't even enjoy him
[02:18.23]
[02:19.11] 'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know
[02:22.13]
[02:24.57] I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
[02:29.80]
[02:30.80] Tears calcify in my tummy
[02:34.46]
[02:36.21] Fears go inside the bottle
[02:38.71]
[02:41.90] How can I ask anyone to love me
[02:47.55]
[02:48.55] When all I do is beg to be left
[02:51.99] When all I do is beg to be left
[02:54.87] When all I do is beg to be left
[02:58.24] Alone
[02:58.55]
[03:03.99] Alone
[03:07.12]
[03:14.56] Alone
[03:27.38] My ills are articulate
[03:29.31]
[03:30.19] My woes are granular
[03:32.56]
[03:34.01] The ants weigh more than the elephants
[03:36.37]
[03:40.00] Nothing, nothing is manageable
[03:42.00]
[03:43.94] So couldn't we skip the valedictories
[03:46.12]
[03:46.63] I can see your door there
[03:48.25] Shut it and forget my number
[03:49.30]
[03:50.24] 'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know
[03:52.55]
[03:55.11] Oh I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
[04:00.68]
[04:01.49] Tears calcify in my tummy
[04:05.24]
[04:06.93] Fears go inside the bottle
[04:09.49]
[04:12.92] How can I ask anyone to love me
[04:18.48]
[04:19.48] When all I do is beg to be left
[04:22.11]
[04:22.61] When all I do is beg to be left
[04:25.86] When all I do is beg to be left
[04:28.86]
[04:30.11] Alone
