Callous Lyrics - Knuckledown - Ani Difranco

You cried and you cried and you cried wolf 

So it took me a minute to understand 

That you really were hurt bad 

That day you deeply cut your hand 

And then that look that you gave me 

Sent me rushing through guilt's door 

I'd already started to feel callous 

Like I really should care more 

It was my work that kept me upright 

So you called it a crutch 

While I drifted off 

Into dreams of such and such 

And by the time we'd come full circle 

We knew exactly what to do 

Just keep looking at the triangle 

Instead of what it's pointing to 

But you can't will yourself happy 

You can't will your cunt wet 

You can't keep standing at the station 

Pretending you're being met 

You can't wear a sign that says 'yours' 

When that ain't what you get 

It flows and flows away from me 

My love is a stream 

Your love is a vaudeville show 

So charming and obscene 

We both had our moments 

We both had our fun 

And then I hated to prove 'em all right 

All those who said I'd run
