Callous You

I think I might be falling apart—I say, I shout
Quit it, you say, stop thinking out loud
Can you blame me, I ask, it's hard to keep it inside
Well, I don't care- let your feelings hide.

And with those words—
I fall apart
Nobody cares— I say, I shout

Your words, your words-
Oh, they're too loud!
Haven't I told you?
Silence your mouth!

How callous could you be?
I ask thee.
Too callous—for me!
I shout, I breathe.
Can't you see, can't you see
What you do to me?
I'm falling and falling—
Apart and apart!

"I choose not see
What I do to thee.
Can you blame me?
It's not what my eyes should see."

Tears—salty ones
Come rolling down from my eyes
To my cheeks and my lips
Down till they dry

Oh, how callous of you
My love, my dear
To have broken me
Beyond extreme
