You fed to me the fruit of life
Sometimes it made me sick
When I fell down that empty well
You threw me down a brick
Well is this life, or just my perception
You have to dig so deep to find connection
Afraid 'neurosis' was my name
Didn't you perceive me just the same
You said I always played the victim
And to confirm your suspicion
You went ahead and made me one
How contemptuously your love had gone
But my only strong addiction
Was to have my own conviction
A territory you deplored
It pulled the rug right out from under your front door
It always comes down in the end
When lovers cease from being friends
The camel's back that broke that straw
Was you hurt me and blah, blah, blah
Now everything is tranquil now
There's no more screaming anyhow
No more plans for counter-attacks
I'm just pulling the knives out of my back
So I can put my new dress on
And wander on to someone else's lawn
Where I can stare up at the stars
Without wondering where you are
Where you are
I'm gonna run my fingers through the gra**
I'm gonna have myself a great big laugh
Pretend the pain does not exist
Or hey, maybe there's room for a twist
Where lovers turn their scars around
The other one becomes the clown
You lie there spent behind the fence
And you soak up my indifference
You wonder how I cut you off
You liked me better when I was soft
You did not think I'd do it
It's what you did not say that blew it
It always comes down in the end
When lovers cease from being friends
The camel's back that broke that straw
I guess I hurt you and blah, blah, blah
It always comes down in the end
When lovers cease from being friends
The camel's back that broke that straw
I guess neither one of us knows who we are
Who we are
Who we are
