Letting The Telephone Ring Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Letting The Telephone Ring Lyrics

    I am letting the telephone ring
    cause 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 you
    so much I thought I knew
    words like water used to flow
    now what could I possibly have to say?
    she is someone I don't even know
    and all the things that you've given to me
    I see now were simply reparations
    they were gifts of your guilt
    they were my preparation
    I know I should be mature
    keep my feet on the floor
    but for some reason,
    I just don't want them anymore
    I know this shouldn't be important
    compared to you and I
    but I can still hear my questions
    and I can still hear you
    I can still hear you
    lie
    now vicariously I have her in me
    I want to peel off my skin
    let the water wash in
    you always said that I was hiding
    that I was hiding from you
    but you are capable of things I could not do
    you are capable of things I could not do
    I remember how you pretended
    how you pretended to touch me
    I remember how I couldn't bring myself to believe
    I remember wondering,
    what was wrong
    what was wrong
    how could I be so naive
    how could I be so naive?
