Left Alone Lyrics - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do - Fiona Apple

We made your major overtures when you were show an orotund mutt 

And I was still a dewy petal rather than a moribund slut 

My love wrecked you, you packed to twirl your skirt at the palace 

It hurt more than it ought to hurt, I went to work to cultivate a callus 

And now I'm hard, too hard to know 

I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no, no 

Tears calcify in my tummy 

Fears coincide with my tow 

How can I ask anyone to love me 

When all I do is beg to be left alone 

Oh, when I try to love 

I can love the same man in the same bed in the same city 

But not in the same room it's a pity 

But oh, it never bothered me before 

Not til this guy, what a guy, oh God, what a good guy 

And I can't even enjoy him 

'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know 

I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no, no 

Tears calcify in my tummy 

Fears coincide with my tow 

How can I ask anyone to love me 

When all I do is beg to be left 

When all I do is beg to be left 

When all I do is beg to be left 

Alone 

Alone 

Alone 

My ills are articulate 

My woes are granular 

The ants weigh more than the elephants 

Nothing, nothing is manageable 

So can't we skip the valedictories 

I can see the joy there 

Shut it and forget my number 

'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know 

I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no, no 

Tears calcify in my tummy 

Fears coincide with my tow 

How can I ask anyone to love me 

When all I do is beg to be left 

When all I do is beg to be left 

When all I do is beg to be left alone
