as dolls go i am broken
and you could just let that get us off the hook
but from under the umbrella of the unspoken
i see you giving me that look

baby you are right as rain about the benefits
but you might be wrong about the costs
it feeds my heart that you came looking for me
but i'm thinking i need to stay lost

so i won't say i saw you fibbing
or jump-jigging across the floor
i won't say you walked me to my car
and draped your arm on my open door

i know my mind is made of matter
but i need to know exactly what is the matter at it's core
because my heart is just a muscle
and simply put it's sore

so never mind about the benefits
and never mind about the costs
cause that don't change the basic premises
in which i am surely lost

so i won't say i saw you fibbing
or jump-jigging across the floor
i won't say you walked me to my car
and draped your arm on my open door

no i won't say
