Letting The Telephone Ring

Artists : Ani Difranco : Letting The Telephone Ring

I am letting the telephone ring,
cause I don't want to know why.
I don't want to hear you explain,
I don't want to hear you cry.
I have written so much about you,
so much I thought I knew.
Words like water used to flow.
Now what can I possibly have to say?
She is someone I don't even know.

And all the things that you've given to me,
I see now were simply reparations.
They were gifts of your guilt,
they were my propiration.
I know I should be mature,
keep my feet on the floor but for some
reason I just don't want them anymore.
I know this shouldn't be important,
compared to you and I,
But I can still hear my questions.
And I can still hear you.
I can still hear you lie.

Now vicariously I have her in me,
I want to peel of my skin,
let the water wash in.
You always said that I was hiding,
that I was hiding from you.
You are capable of things
that I could not do.
And I remember how you pretended,
pretended to touch me,
I remember how I couldn't bring
myself to believe.
I remember wondering what was wrong,
what was wrong.
How could I be so naive?
How could I be so naive?
