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
