lyrics

What kind of woman am I?
Is it such a crime
To have loved before you?
To have tried
My best
To make it through
With the information I had at the time?

Oh but moths do stupid things
The closer they get to the light
I got the gun aimed at my foot
As I look you dead in the eyes

I love you
God help me, I do
But you'd be better off
Without my past haunting you

Even you gotta admit it's true

Walking along the beach
Mascara running down my eyes
Who do I beseech
To answer my anguished cries?

I don't mean to be untoward
St. Joan Crawford
But please, lend me your indomitability
Or I'll surely
Throw myself into the sea
And take everything with me

What kind of man are you?
It’s about time
Your words become proofs
Did you lie
To me
Or fail to follow through
On the promises you made at the time?

Oh but flies do stupid things
The closer they get to the web
One minute over confident
Then you’re hanging by a thread

You love me,
God help you, you do
But you’d be better off
Without my past haunting you

Even you gotta admit it's true

Walking along the beach
Mascara running down my eyes
Who do I beseech
To answer my anguished cries?

Where's my award
St. Joan Crawford?
I let the audiences drink up
My latest fuck up
When I realized the heartstrings that linked us
Were nothing more than catgut

Does it make you want to laugh or cry
To see the mascara pour from my eyes?
The lipstick smeared on my face
Playing out my public disgrace
Is it grotesque
The state I'm in?
Humoresque
For solo violin
