about

I was mad at somebody. It was one of my first songs and I was not all that afraid to play it in front of people, which made it a breakthrough.

lyrics

I thought of what I should have said
When the cord was finally severed
You fell into the canyon
But you never found the river
You're aging your reflection
You're not some precious ingenue

Dreams are spoiled by coming true
I was just doing my best impression of you
What else could I do
I never got the best impression of you
Nothing you said was true
Nothing you say resembles a thing you do
Watching you come unglued
Sitting here doing my best impression of you

You moved to California
And you took a break from lying
And you never crushed one spirit
But not for lack of trying
Maybe I'm just jealous
Of how the mirror looks to you

The cold crept in like cancer
As I kept a look out for you
And you signaled the invasion
Of the armies who adore you
You stilled the voice inside me
And for that there's no forgiving you
