Never was quite clear how you felt about me
Always thought you were better off without me
We never were close, never got along
Every word you'd say sounded somehow wrong
Did you ever love me, well I doubt it
Never once made any bones about it
Oh, oh, oh, cries and whispers
I tried to find a way to make a connection
Wound up skipping out for the sake of protection
You made a lot of promises
And then you'd renege
When I needed you most
You didn't give a fig
There was no getting close, no hugs and kisses
Just a standard Christmas card
From you and the misses
"Come what may, this is happiness
I cannot wish for anything better
Now, for a few minutes, I can experience perfection
And I feel profoundly grateful to my life
Which gives me so much"
They tell me blood is thicker than water
I know, I get that with my very own daughter
But with you the blood runs cold
Like in suspended animation
I try to break the seal
But you don't feel any sensation
