I tell you how I feel
but you don’t care
I say tell me the truth
but you don’t dare

You say love is a hell you can not bear
I say give me mine back
and then go there
for all I care

I got my feet on the ground and I don’t go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
and you’re not at all what you seem
This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled
by your deviant ways

So don’t forget what I told you
Don’t come around
I’ve got my own hell to raise

I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
first you run like a fool just to be at my side
and now you run like a fool but you just run to hide and I can’t abide

I got my feet on the ground and I don’t go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
and you’re not at all what you seem
This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled
by your deviant ways

So don’t forget what I told you
Don’t come around
I’ve got my own hell to raise

Don’t make it a big deal
Don’t be so sensitive
We’re not playing a game anymore
You don’t have to be so defensive

Don’t you plead me your case
Don’t bother to explain
Don’t even show me your face
‘cause it’s a crying shame
just go back to the rock
from under which you came
take the sorrow you gave
and all the stakes you claim…

and don’t forget the blame

I got my feet on the ground and I don’t go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
and you’re not at all what you seem
This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled
by your deviant ways

So don’t forget what I told you
Don’t come around
I’ve got my own hell to raise

Fiona Apple, Sleep to Dream
