Lyrics
The man stands in the doorway like a small child, angry fists She lies in her bed, her head buried in her pillow, she stares at the moon He speaks to her, all the words she's heard too many times before And pretty soon she just lets his voice fade away She thinks this was a gradual steel frost that started with cold feet And ended with numb hearts It was once satisfying sex, but now no longer is It was once filled with all the possibilities of new china or old stone But now it's exaggerated and water-logged No longer what these hands had intended and still I cry in my sleep He always said I was too sensitive But I say, least I never meant to make him cry Least I never meant to make him hurt that way No, I never meant to make him cry I never meant to make him hurt that way Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but He takes pleasure in my pain Yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but He takes pleasure in my pain And the unheard hours they fly by, she goes to the window She puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair He's already asleep by the time she goes and lays herself back down She thinks, my God, what am I doing here?
