Callous

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' When that ain't what you get --- Callous - Ani DiFranco
