Artist: Fiona Apple Album: The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And... (2012) Title: Left Alone
Lyrics Left AloneYou made, you made your overtures When you were a chauven'd overtoned 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 hot, too hot and 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 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 |
