lyrics

So upsetting I was shaking
So tired of the way you make it all up
Breezing in with your "who me?" eyes
To move the pieces of my life
But I'm not your kid, I'm not your wife

The fever pitch, the vicious fighting
The dissembling, the gas-lighting
You can move on to something new
What is of consequence to you?
The path keeps falling from your view
The hunt is up ahead

I see you standing on that stair
Your school-girl tie, your long, blonde hair
You set your sights on me, from there
I was of your making

The truth of it hurts so I don't speak it
I hate how pliable, how meek I am
Me the ball and you the tether
Me the vane and you the weather
I think we wrote this myth together

For a hunter, you're not that good a listener
The deer hears danger everywhere
But oh, Diana, you bring me down without a sound

You are not cruel, I am persuaded
Despite your game and how you played it
A subtle frenzy I intuit
A desperate need in how you view it
Can't I just bless and leave you to it?
But it doesn't work that way

It doesn't end, it's never over
It's of no use to run for cover
But you're not my teacher, you're not my lover
You're not my teacher, not my lover

I see you standing on that stair...
