Lyrics - Letting The Telephone Ring by Difranco Ani

I am letting the telephone ringcause
I don't want to know why
I don't want to hear you explain
I don't want to hear you cry
I have written so much about youso much
I thought
I knewwords like water used to flownow what could
I possibly have to say?she is someone
I don't even knowand all the things that you've given to me
I see now were simply reparationsthey were gifts of your guiltthey were my preparation
I know
I should be maturekeep my feet on the floorbut for some reason,
I just don't want them anymore
I know this shouldn't be importantcompared to you and
Ibut
I can still hear my questionsand
I can still hear you
I can still hear youlienow vicariously
I have her in me
I want to peel off my skinlet the water wash inyou always said that
I was hidingthat
I was hiding from youbut you are capable of things
I could not doyou are capable of things
I could not do
I remember how you pretendedhow you pretended to touch me
I remember how
I couldn't bring myself to believe
I remember wondering,what was wrongwhat was wronghow could
I be so naivehow could
I be so naive?
