Aimee Mann I Could Hurt You Now

This is for the one who was false

who taught me about building walls

one who could always turn it around

to leave me here on shaky ground

this is for the one who made good

in someone else's neighborhood

one who was never anything but

the shifty eye of sheer bad luck

once I thought that I would never forget

and I have not quite done that yet

but I could hurt you now

I could hurt you now

this is for the time that I lost

the death of who I thought I was

the things in which I cannot believe

for fear I'll wear them on my sleeve

things I know that will never be returned

but I crossed that bridge before it burned

so I could hurt you now

I could hurt you now

(listen, sonny boy

you just don't get it, do you)

I could hurt you now

(tell you what I'll do

I'll get that message to you)

Maybe it leaves an invisible scar

but I have not come quite that far

but I could hurt you now

(listen, sonny boy

you just don't get it, do you)

I could hurt you now

(tell you what I'll do

I'll get that message to you)
