Left Alone

You made your, made your overtures

When you were a chauven'd over-toned mutt

And I was still a dewy petal

Rather than a moribund slut

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 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 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
