 What you did to me made me see myself something different
 Though I try to talk sense to myself but I just won't listen
Won't  you go away turned  yourself  in you're no  good at  confession
 Before the image that you burned me in tries to teach you a lesson
 What you did to me made me see myself somethin' awful
 A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled
 It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it
 I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidded
 (bass ---, ’s  on -chord)
 My peace and quiet was stolen from me
When  I was looking with calm affection

 You were searching out my imperfections
]
 What wasted unconditional love
-5/]
 On somebody who doesn't believe in the stuff
 You came upon me like a hypnic jerk when I was just about settled
 And when it counts you recoil with a cryptic word and leave a love belittled
 Oh what a cold and common old way to go
 I was feeding on the need for you to know me
 Devastated at the rate you fell below me
 What wasted unconditional love On somebody
 Who doesn't believe in the stuff Oh, well
