I am letting the telephone ring
'cause i don't want to know why
I don't want to hear you explain
I don't want to hear you cry

I have written so much about you
So much i thought i knew
Words like water used to flow
Now what could i possibly have to say?

She is someone i don't even know
And all the things that you've given to me
I see now were simply reparations
They were gifts of your guilt

They were my preparation
I know i should be mature
Keep my feet on the floor
But for some reason

I just don't want them anymore
I know this shouldn't be important
Compared to you and i
But i can still hear my questions
And i can still hear you
I can still hear you lie

Now vicariously i have her in me
I want to peel off my skin
Let the water wash in
You always said that i was hiding
That i was hiding from you

But you are capable of things i could not do
You are capable of things i could not do
I remember how you pretended
How you pretended to touch me

I remember how i couldn't bring myself
To believe, i remember wondering
What was wrong? what was wrong?
How could i be so naive? how could i be so naive?
