Lyrics

The television tells me
That he was born to quell me
To be the first to teach me
I have value
So I pick him out at recess
And he treats me like an abscess
And I never know what
I said wrong
I want a man to save me
I want to save a man
I want to be as simple
As the television’s plan
Four years ago we got rights
But something is still not right
I spent twenty years desperate
For the hollow of a man
Once he was a small thing
But he grew a liquor liver
And then turned his body blockade
I wanted to turn him soft
And let him break me as a thank you
I am lucky we were both too afraid
I want a man to save me
I want to save a man
I want to be as simple
As the television’s plan
Four years ago we got rights
But something is still not right
I spent twenty years desperate
For the hollow of a man
I am best at longing for that
Which never happened
Paint illusions
Give myself the creeps
Men don’t let themselves love me
Not cuz they are above me
They’re just scared I’ll brush their hair
And kiss their cheeks
I dreamt you up, my love
Climbed inside your laugh
Forgot how to breathe
Maybe it’s foolish, my love
To believe we’d get out unscathed
Trusted your hands, my love
To bloom into fields
At the sight of new life
Wept when you snapped, my love
Never a word more hated than wife
I want a man to save me
I want to save a man
I want to be as simple
As the television’s plan
Four years ago we got rights
But something is still not right
I spent twenty years desperate
For the hollow of a man
