Ani Difranco

Ani Difranco - Callous lyrics

You cried and you cried and you cried wolf

So it took me a minute to understand

That you really were hurt bad

That day you deeply cut your hand

And then that look that you gave me

Sent me rushing through guilt's door

I'd already started to feel callous

Like I really should care more

It was my work that kept me upright

So you called it a crutch

While I drifted off

Into dreams of such and such

And by the time we'd come full circle

We knew exactly what to do

Just keep looking at the triangle

Instead of what it's pointing to

But you can't will yourself happy

You can't will your cunt wet

You can't keep standing at the station

Pretending you're being met

You can't wear a sign that says 'yours'

When that ain't what you get

It flows and flows away from me

My love is a stream

Your love is a vaudeville show

So charming and obscene

We both had our moments

We both had our fun

And then I hated to prove 'em all right

All those who said I'd run

But you can't will yourself happy

You can't will your cunt wet

You can't keep standing at the station

Pretending you're being met

You can't keep wearing a sign that says 'yours'
