lyrics

"Kiss me" she said, but she kissed like a stranger
while history warns you're the picture of danger
still chemistry claims you are not like the rest
but it's all too familiar this hole in my chest

"I'm sorry" she said, but I never did find it
guess i'm not acquainted with how you define it
"please tell me what's wrong," "darling never you mind it"
if love is a contract, you never did find it and

I'm trying, but you don't respond when i call out your name it's like
I'm dying, to be what you want although you don't want anything
you say, oh, you say it's not personal, dear, how could it not be?
how could it not be, this way?

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm just being too sensitive
taking a small thing and getting defensive
you gave me your love, oh but where is the rest of it?
where is the rest of it?

well, "I'm sorry" she said but I'd never have known it
if I hadn't walked in the room at that moment
would you have gone on as if nothing had happened?
was I just the footnote while he was the caption?

I'm trying, but you don't respond when i call out your name it's like
I'm dying, to be what you want although you don't want anything
you say, oh, you say it's not personal, dear, how could it not be?
how could it not be, this way?

And I've been trying far too long
to conjure up the perfect song
to calm the storm that's raging inside you
and love should be the first of things
that we declare the worst of things
to write about pretending that they're true
I'll never believe it
until I receive it from you
