lyrics

sweetheart, you make me feel evil
feel the pressure compound as you’re sneaking around
telling lies
pretty lies
to every soul that you pass

and you say you’ll make it right but
i don’t think it’ll last one silent night

feel you in the frigid north where
i can’t see past my nightmares
i know that i can’t stay here
‘cause i’m not thinking clearly

why did you touch me like that?
push me down onto my back flat?

i know i said that i could sleep like that
but that was then
way back when

when i was your rag doll

when this broke
you swore and i tiptoed
you hid your face, i crept out slow

he reached to me with his deepest sympathies
exploiting my sensitivity

that isn’t empathy baby

and so i cut if off and wrote down everything you wanted to know
somehow everything was coming up roses
but everything decomposes eventually

a clean break, it’s all i ever wanted
but i was mistaken when his hands grasped my frame again

i am not your rag doll
and you can’t make this my fault
i was damn near out the door when i got stonewalled

you said you didn’t mean to
it means nothing at all
you “didn’t mean to” means nothing at all
you “didn’t mean to” means nothing at all
when you shook me like a rag doll

i am not your rag doll
