If only you'd never speak to me
The way that you do
If only you'd never speak like that
It's like listening to
A breaking heart
A falling sky
Fire go out and friendship die
I wish you felt the way that I still do
If only you'd never look at me
The way that you do
If only you'd never look like that
When I look at you
I see face like stone
Eyes of ice
Mouth so sweetly telling lies
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone
If only you'd never pull from me
The way that you do
If only you'd never pull like that
When I'm with you
I feel hopeless hands helplessly
Pulling you back close to me
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
If only you'd ever speak to me
The way you once did
Look at me the way you once did
Pull to me the way you once did
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone
It's all gone
The way that you do
If only you'd never speak like that
It's like listening to
A breaking heart
A falling sky
Fire go out and friendship die
I wish you felt the way that I still do
If only you'd never look at me
The way that you do
If only you'd never look like that
When I look at you
I see face like stone
Eyes of ice
Mouth so sweetly telling lies
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone
If only you'd never pull from me
The way that you do
If only you'd never pull like that
When I'm with you
I feel hopeless hands helplessly
Pulling you back close to me
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
If only you'd ever speak to me
The way you once did
Look at me the way you once did
Pull to me the way you once did
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone
It's all gone

Getting back to the variety on this CD, after this very song, there is the beautiful "To Wish Impossible Things", which is OUTSTANDING. Yeah, this CD is in my top three Cure CDs.
It's as if the narrator has finally decided to not put up with anymore sh*t from this person, and even if they do hold this person in admiration, they have to become familiar with the fact that this person doesn't seem to care like they used to and should really let go. "Cut" them out of their life.
I do think Disintergration is an amazing album, one of my faves, if not THE favourite. But Wish cannot be faulted. Some very intense emotions experienced in some very intense songs.
Maybe it's a relationship. I'm not quite sure. But yeah, this song defintely has an element of hate in it, and also loneliness.
The lyrics here are really self-explanatory. A relationship that's gone stale. I'd ramble on about the significance of using ice, stone and fire that's gone out to describe the coldness between them, but any idiot's capable of noticing that and I'm not sure it would make any sense anyway.
Mouth so sweetly telling lies"
...that's just SOOOO cool.
The vocals (like all Cure songs) are just so good. Robert Smith can really wail.
