it was once filled with all the possibilities of new china or old stone 
but now it's exaggerated and water-logged 
no longer what these hands had intended and still I cry in my sleep

she thinks, my god, what I am doing here 

VERSE:

her bones have grown tired of his hunger, of his grey eyes 
and I feel that if I were to stay one more night here I'd die, 
or explode, or worse yet, just fade away 
he always said I was too sensitive 
if I dared to care so much, the world could kill me that way 
I wonder if he's only half alive or if he simply 
has always been this inarticulate 

VERSE II:
but I say, at least I never meant to make him cry 
at least I never meant to make him hurt that way 
no, I never meant to make him cry 
I never meant to make him hurt that way 

CHORUS:

yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but 
he takes pleasure in my pain 
yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but 
he takes pleasure in my pain 

VERSE III:
she gets out of bed and looks at her feet as though they were 
the wings for her freedom 
she gets up and goes to the drawer 
it's a moment in which anything can happen 
instead she gets out some clothing, puts them in a bag 
and leaves him sleeping while she heads for the door
