lyrics

when we talk
i want to tell you everything
but I won’t
i should keep my cards close

want to cry
in your arms after every date
but I can’t
and that’s just the way it goes

you’re always in my head
i want to kiss you but instead you

punch me in the face with your perfect hand
my nose is bleeding all over the floor
i just want to love you why don’t you understand
why can’t you do this to me anymore?

in my dreams
i’m pulling out my teeth and then
pick them up
and place them in a row

i wake up
and wonder if you’re next to me
but you’re not
and I already know

that this makes me feel so bad
if you could see me you’d be sad

punch me in the face with your perfect hand
my nose is bleeding all over the floor
i just want to love you why don’t you understand
why can’t you do this to me anymore?

when I win
i feel a little lonely
when I lose
i feel nothing at all

twenty three
an exercise in apathy
maybe I’ll
meet somebody in the fall

a boy who’ll love me like you did
until the day he gets rid of me

punch me in the face with your perfect hand
my nose is bleeding all over the floor
i just want to love you why don’t you understand
why can’t you do this to me anymore?
