Matilda

Left in the corner collectin' dust Patiently waitin' while my fingers rust I was locked in the coffin case Not even on display As you fret, my frets decay You pick up your other, and you strum away I listen from the other room Try to pull you out of tune Thought I was everythin' you need I thought at least you'd wanna see it through And I was caught in between Giving up and callin' out to you Am I comin' through? Now, you don't even write the chords down You don't even play me anyhow, anymore Now, you just keep crankin' them out Like you're tryin' to numb yourself With all this work but it's just not workin' out George and his lover, they gently weep But I don't even get to breathe I hardly make a sound And I'm totally unwound, it's like All my flaws have become the things That make you want to destroy somethin' And the reasons you started are lost Now that the feelin' has worn off Thought I was everything you need Thought at least you'd wanna see it through Your voice follows me You sing perfectly out of tune I thought we had more time I thought I could make it up somehow I try to weave between the lines I try to turn myself up loud Can you hear me now? Now, you don't even write the chords down You don't even play me anyhow, anymore Now, you just keep crankin' them out Like you're tryin' to numb yourself Like I'm just a different drug Somethin' that you took for granted Another love that you abandoned right when It starts to count You don't even write the chords down You don't even play me anyhow 'Cause it's only work, and it's just not workin' out
