You tell me something I wouldn't hear
tell me something I refuse to know
I didn't want to hear it
it didn't sound too good from here
it's the cover of a book
it's the cover I refuse to see
I didn't want to see it
it didn't look too good from here

I didn't think you'd notice
it didn't make a difference
if it mattered that much to you
it wouldn't matter that much to me

I tried harder than you could know
was I there was I waiting
but that's me I forget sometimes
are you never coming back

It's something I couldn't ignore
it's part of me everyday
it's something I couldn't say to you
something that takes the breath from me
something that makes me angry
something that's cheap and dirty(x2)
something that takes my strength away
and I blame it on you
I blame it on you(x2)
