Roughen me up.

Darling you break my heart

every time you get in touch

Because I loved you far too much

I can never replace

The things that you took.



Just when I think I’m living life

Without you in it, finally

Well all my strengths

Are robbed from me

As soon as I hear the phone.



Don’t talk about being lonely

Or say you’ve been thinking of me

I’m not going to beg for nothing.

There is nothing you can give me.



And it’s not like I ever did fall for it

I just choose to ignore the truth

And revelled in the false pretence

That I was in love with you.



I guess I’d rather be kind hearted

I guess I’ve never been that tough

For all your condor

Your turned back, your slander

Love has yet to roughen me up.
