Nobody

She woke me up at dawn
Soft spoken as a spider
Spinning webs of holy words while she was still asleep
Kill the moon beneath my window
Pulled the covers tighter
And hear her voice go swinging like a hatchet through the trees
There's a shadow at the back door
Something's moving in the shade
She lights cigarettes like lanterns
For the darkness in my head
Nobody ever loved me
Ever loved me
nobody ever loved me
Ever loved me
Like she tells me does
Tender a a bruise
Sharper than a razor
Wrap her tentacles around me like she'll never let me go
Her fury shakes the rafters
But never in my favor
I'm trembling in the eye of the only storm I've ever known
The keys are in the back door
Something's wailing in my chest
It eclipses every siren
And these sins that she's confessed
Nobody ever loved me
Ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
Ever loved me
So she tells me
Nobody ever loved me
Ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
Ever loved me
Like she tells me she does
I should be counting blessings
Something is better than nothing isn't it
isn't it, isn't it?
It's close enough to perfect
What doesn't hurt a little bit
A little bit, a little bit?
Nobody ever loved me
Ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
Like she loves me
Nobody ever loved me
Ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
Like she tells me she does
