TV Show Lyrics
I'm not such a good lover
I'm a better talker
So when you touch me there
I'm scared that you'll see
Not the way that I don't love you
But the way that I don't love myself
There are things these days
That can help you through a phase
Like food & health & fear
I prefer the beer
Not the way that I don't love you
But the way that I hate myself
The cityscape is born
From the ocean floor
It speaks its native tongue
Physical, subliminal
Not the way that it left you cold
But the way that you left yourself
And the Moon falls from the Earth
And the Sun, fills its girth
And I know, we'll go hard at the night
But still the sun will not hide our fight
I laugh a lot
But that's just a plot
I've found the way to make 'em not stay
Not the way that I don't love you
But the way that I hate myself
It was Oprah on the TV show
She told me so
It was Oprah on the TV show
She told me so
Not the way that I don't love you
But the way that I love myself
I'm a better talker
So when you touch me there
I'm scared that you'll see
Not the way that I don't love you
But the way that I don't love myself
That can help you through a phase
Like food & health & fear
I prefer the beer
Not the way that I don't love you
But the way that I hate myself
From the ocean floor
It speaks its native tongue
Physical, subliminal
Not the way that it left you cold
But the way that you left yourself
And the Sun, fills its girth
And I know, we'll go hard at the night
But still the sun will not hide our fight
But that's just a plot
I've found the way to make 'em not stay
Not the way that I don't love you
But the way that I hate myself
She told me so
It was Oprah on the TV show
She told me so
But the way that I love myself

I love this song
"So when you touch me there I'm scared that you'll see Not the way that I don't love you But the way that I don't love myself"
Such amazing lyrics...
for me, this song is about depression. i think that the line "not the way that i don't love you, but the way that i don't love myself" is what she said to somebody when she broke up with them Then she became alone, and "hated herself". The song is about loneliness and depression, secluding yourself in your house and putting on a front every time people come round so that they don't ask questions.
i love the line "there are things these days, that can help you through a phase, like food and health and fear, i prefer the beer"
going to see Martha in May, can't wait, i'm so lucky =]
