lyrics

i'm still awake
and it looks like morning
well that sure is a waste of darkness
i'm still alive
but i'll ignore that for now
my plan is foiled
and my thoughts are plagued
as i thought about everything you said
when i was in bed wishing i was dead

but if the words were to vanish
i would be free
and you'd be free from me
but they never will
cos i'm not your friend
i wasn't ready for that
and i'm not ready for this
yes you are
don't deny it
there is nothing to pretend to be you know you are
you're the cold wet scraps of a christmas dinner
although you scrub up well and sometimes
write a banging tune you you
just don't get it do ya
i can't even look at you anymore

when my voice was my only free hand

i still pretend to be happy
but he was so extremely docile it was hostile
and every day i invent a new demeanour just for you
but i know you know i'm just a dispirited little girl
and i'm tempted to give up on you now
cos this just won't last me through the winter

so you might as well quit
if you haven't got it
yeah you might as well quit
if you haven't got it
yeah you might as well quit
if you haven't got it
yeah you might as well quit
if you haven't got it

when my voice was my only free hand
