Oh Well

What you did to me made me
See myself something different
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won't listenWon'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 lessonWhat 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 outbiddedMy peace and quiet was stolen from me
When I was looking with calm affection
You were searching out my imperfectionsWhat wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuffYou came upon me like a hypnic jerk
When I was just about settled
And when it counts you recoil
With a cryptic word and leave a love belittledOh what a cold and common low way to go
When I was feeding on the need for you to know me
Devastated at the rate you fell below meWhat wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn't believe in the stuffOh, well
