Don't Come Over

Don't come over
Because I'm going to ask you to

Because you'll feel bad for me
Because you won't know what to say to me
Because you feel guilty
Because you should fucking feel guilty
But still, even still, even so
Don't, don't, don't
Don't come over

Didn't you just leave yesterday
And wasn't that weeks ago?

Didn't I make you breakfast
And didn't you turn the eggs
Upside down?

Didn't we do this all before
And can't we do it again?

Repetition's a comfort food for me
It's something I understand

Don't come over, please please please
The door's unlocked
And so am I

But what good can it do
To do what I ask
When you've never
Done it before?

We've gotten this far
On your soft neglect

Let's see if we can get far
Some more

Don't be nice
Don't be cool
Don't help me out
Don't hold my hand
Don't let this be
An easy thing

I like the way it lasts

Don't redo it
Don't defend it
Don't come knockin'
To see
If I made up my mind this time

I'll be fine
I'll get by
I locked the knife drawer
Hell, I'm great

But I'm gonna make some threats
I'm gonna try to get you here
So please, please, please, my dear
I'm asking out of fear

Don't soothe me
I'm too bruised for you
To choose me now

Don't come over
'Cause if you came

What would I do
When you got here
Anyhow?
