What you 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 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      What 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 outbidded      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      You 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 belittled      Oh 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 me      What wasted unconditional love   On somebody   Who doesn't believe in the stuff      Oh, well
