You made, you made your overtures
When you were a chauven'd overtoned mutt
And I was still a dewy petal

Rather than a moribund !@#%
My love wrecked you
You're back to twirl your skirt at the palace

It hurt more than it ought to hurt
I went to work to cultivate a callous


And now I'm hot, too hot and oh
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
Tears calcify in my tummy

Fears go inside the bottle
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left alone


Oh and I tried to love
And I can love the same man and the same bed and the same city

But not in the same room it's a pity but oh
It never bothered me before
Not 'til this guy

What a guy
Oh God what a good guy
And I can't even enjoy him

'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know

I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no

Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears go inside the bottle
How can I ask anyone to love me

When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left

Alone
Alone
Alone


My ills are articulate
My woes are granular

The ants weigh more than the elephants
Nothing, nothing is manageable
So couldn't we skip the valedictories

I can see your door there
Shut it and forget my number
'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know


Oh I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
Tears calcify in my tummy

Fears go inside the bottle
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left

When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
Alone
