about

Recorded live at Cafe du Luxe in Denton, TX by PAO Productions.

lyrics

Poor little you
The girl of your dreams
She turned into a nightmare
Had you tugging on your hair
You tell her you love her
She comes back with two little gasps
And a big, blank stare

Poor little me
The man I thought was stable
Just started to cave in
More facade than foundation
I ask him to fight; he collapses
No trace of a gasp
Just one spineless skin

What did you say when they asked?
Did you tell them I ripped your heart in half?

CHORUS
You can hate me
Come on, I can take it
My heart isn't breaking
It's not even there
I'm a Pharisee courting a rapist
We're both begging blameless
And coming up bare
So why should I?
So why should I?
So why should I care?
You're not even there

And so it goes
That the prince was the one in distress
And the damsel
She already had her hands full
He calls out for help
And the balance goes all out of whack
And that fairy tale unravels

Tell me another lie
Go on and tell me you're whole and healed inside

CHORUS
You can hate me
Come on, I can take it
My heart isn't breaking
It's not even there
I'm a Pharisee courting a rapist
We're both begging blameless
And coming up bare
So why should I?
So why should I?
So why should I care?
You're not even there

You've got a lot of nerve to wield the word "forever"
When you don't even have your shit together
Who's the chooser and who's the beggar?

I just thought you should know that it hurt when you left
Like a knife in my chest
But I know I'll breathe again
And you'll be telling sob stories to another girlfriend

Well, I hope I make a fantastic villain

CHORUS
You can hate me
Come on, I can take it
My heart isn't breaking
It's not even there
I'm a Pharisee courting a rapist
We're both begging blameless
And coming up bare
So why should I?
So why should I?
So why should I care?
You're not even there
