  • In the silent parlor room
    If I'd remember to
    Keep it down for ya, like you asked me to
    Did that hurt too much

    Baby did it last long enough
    It was fine for me
    It was fine for me
    I'll go dry off now

    This stuff is sticky
    It's a little hot in here dear
    Can you turn up the air
    And don't tell me that you want me to see you this way

    If I were weaker
    And you loved me
    Would you still act this way
    I'm sitting on the floor

    And I don't feel no more
    I'm not prepared to
    And I don't dare to
    It's so dark in here

    And something smells like fear
    Now you're sleeping
    While I'm conceiving
    I'll find my own way out

    You'll find the letter
    I'm a little weak but
    You like that better
    I don't think that you want to

    See me this way
    'Cause I'd kill you
    And I'd leave you
    And never speak your name

    And don't tell me that you want me to see you this way
    If I were weaker
    And you loved me
    Would you still act this way

    The roads are wet
    And I can't remember your face
    As I'm driving away in this, in this taxi cab
    And the driver said

    Are you sure you want to leave him
    Don't I need to get these scars off my face
    And I'm bleeding, not just in front of you
    But in every single place

    Don't you think that I want to see him in a different way
    If he were weaker
    And I still loved him
    Maybe it wouldn't be this way Writer/s: BIJOU PHILLIPS, NATHAN DECEMBER
