Fiona Apple - Parting Gift lyrics

I opened my eyes

While you were kissing me once more than once

And you looked as sincere as a dog

Just as sincere as a dog does,

When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love

I bet you could never tell

That I knew you didn't know me that well

It is my fault you see

You never learned that much from me

Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine

You were always good for rhyme

And from the first to the last time

The signs said stop

But we went on whole hearted

It ended bad but I love what we started

It said stop - but we went on whole hearted

It ended bad but I love what we started

I took off my glasses

While you were yelling at me once more than once

So as not to see you see me react

Should've put 'em, should've put 'em on again

So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back

I bet your fortressed face

Belied your fort of lace

It is by the grace of me

You never learned what I could see

Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine

You were always good for rhyme

And from the first to the last time

The signs said stop

But we went on whole hearted

It ended bad but I love what we started

It said stop - but we went on whole hearted

It ended bad but I love what we started
