You made your major overtures
When you were a sure and orotund mutt
And I was still a dewy petal
rather than a moribund slut
My love wrecked you, you packed 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 coincide with the tow
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, in the same bed,
in the same city
But not in the same room, it's a pity
But oh, it never bothered me before
Not until 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
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears coincide with the tow
How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left alone
My ills are reticulate
My woes are granular
The ants weight more than the elephants
Nothing, nothing is manageable
So, couldn't we skip the valedictories,
I can see a door there:
shut it and forget my number
'cause I'm Hard, too hard to know
I don't cry I'm sad anymore
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears coincide with the tow
How can I ask anyone to love me
when all I do is beg to be left alone.
