About Wallace - You Didn't Mind Lyrics

I can see the red round the rims of your eyes, and it tells me where you've been
I can see the shame that you carry inside, and it tells me we're not far from the end

I found you alone in the back of your car, with your makeup running down in lines
I gave you my coat and I took you inside, and you told me that you didn't mind

The way he hurt you, the way your dress was stained
You said you only feel him when it comes after pain
And I said darling, you can't go on like this
You said it all makes sense when you go in for the kiss

All your blood came out when it went through the wash; while you waited you wore my old clothes
All the blood we spill trying to be what we're not, and you wear it dripping down your nose

But when we bleach it, we almost lose all trace
I've always had a hard time accepting any grace
And when we're laughing, we don't forget the sad
The worst part of my life is it's not really bad
And fine you love him, but you don't have to stay
All the best parts of my life are when I ran away
It doesn't matter, go on and save yourself
And take the love that you feel and put it on a shelf

You gave me a hug and you made for the door in the only long-sleeve I could find
When you left I cried on the living room floor, and I told myself I didn't mind

The way he hurt you, the way your dress was stained
You said you only feel him when it comes after pain
And I said darling, you can't go on like this
You said it all makes sense when you go in for the kiss
