Eleanor Friedberger - You'll Never Know Me lyrics

You'll never know me, but it's not from any lack of trying And if you try to hold me again, I'll break into bits in the palm of your hand You don't want to see that, do you now? You'll never scold me, but we should be hung out to dry Why did you let this happen to me? I didn't even stop to breath I didn't get to change my mind Why don't you give me all my time? But baby, oh baby You'll never see me after I switch off this light And if you try to stop for a second, you'll fall off the face of the earth, I reckon (I don't want to see you fall down there) If you try to tell me again, I swear, I promise not to listen (I don't want to stop and listen) Why did you let this happen to me? I didn't even stop to breath I didn't get to change my mind Why don't you give me all my time? My baby, perfect baby
