Lyrics
I offered my shoulder to console her pain
But she launched into a screed of what she hates about love
I said if she was cold I’d bring her in from the rain
But she obsessed about the things that she hates about love
Those wild nights with fevered appetites,
Alluring only towards one another
Forging sublime new passionate rhymes
And never thinking about any other
I begged for her sufferance but she turned me away
And then noted a new thing that she hates about love
I tried to give her the promise of some better way
But she couldn’t see a day when she’d hate less than love
Things monotonous, a less-than-passionate kiss
Doing nothing of interest together
Just familiar scenes and automated routines
Actually chatting about the weather
She said I would forfeit one way or another,
She would put me on that rack and go and hire Barry’s brother
To twist ‘til I’m ten feet tall, resist and I’m against the wall
Well, screw that man, I just want out,
I’ll relinquish my claim and I’ll promise not to shout
Just show me to the nearest door
I don’t want to die in here anymore
Now there’s quieter nights with opportunities slight
And all the days keep running together
Where we once had a style with a tone febrile
There’s no hope things are gonna get better No!
She didn’t like love, threw it away,
Now she hides away, far away, just stay away from my dreams
