Oh Well

what you did to me made me see myself somethin' 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' aweful
a voice once tentorian is now again weak and muffled
it took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it
i stand tall, i had to get it back and all this seems i've now bit it


my peace and quiet was stolen from me
when i was looking with calm effects son,
you were searching out my imperfections


what wasted unconditional love
on somebody,
who doesn't believe in the stuff


you came up on me like a hip nick jerk when i was just about settled
and when it counts you recoil with the cryptic wordin' you even love belittlin'
oh what a cold and a common old way to go


i was feedin' on the need for you to know me
devastated on the rage, you fell below me


what wasted unconditional love
on somebody,
who doesn't believe in the stuff


oh, well...
