lyrics

True to myself, I fell off a chair
True to myself, when you were right there
True to myself, I staggered and stared at you
True to myself, when I was the most sober person there, but you

Maybe you would like me better if I had longer hair or greener eyes
Maybe you would like me better if I didn’t carry this weight on my thighs
Maybe you would like me better if my windowsills weren’t places for flies to die
Maybe you would like me better if your girlfriend didn’t wear twice my bra size

True to myself, I stopped listening when you spoke
True to myself, I thought about learning how to smoke, like you do
True to myself, I wondered what it would be like if you kissed my throat
True to myself, you asked me a question and I just choked

Maybe you would like me better if I’d heard of books you hadn’t read
Maybe you would like me better if I knew the songs playing in your head
Maybe you would like me better if I brushed my teeth before going to bed
Maybe you would like me better if that brown-haired girl had no hair on her head

Sometimes I think about things
Sometimes I get confused
Sometimes I think I think too much
Sometimes I think I think too little
Sometimes I think I’d really rather never think again at all

Maybe you would like me better if I didn’t clean my house so well
Maybe you would like me better if I kept my sweaters on different shelves
Maybe you would like me better if I knew how to cast voodoo doll spells
Maybe you would like me better if you didn’t have such a keen sense of smell

Maybe you would like me better if I acted on more of my whims
Maybe you would like me better if I drove with the windows down and let the rain come in
Maybe you would like me better if I took long walks at night, ignoring the fear within me
Maybe you would like me better if I knew you as well as Pam knows Jim

My eye color just won’t change and my sweaters will not be re-arranged
The flies will not re-animate, in fact, they’re well inside their pearly gates
They do not have the will to live, so I think you’ll just have to forgive me
Please don’t take offense, but I have lost all interest

True to myself, I fell off a chair
True to myself, when you were right there
True to myself, I staggered and stared when you were right there
