lyrics

I remember this boy I used to know, when I was seventeen or so
He said that I belonged to him
I remember the way his hands moved across me like a dance
The sweetness of his mouth when we would kiss
So sweet
I remember how I was scared, coming down the frat house stairs,
when they told me that he was out on the back deck
Because he sent us threats when I ended things, me and the new boy I was with,
Said he'd smash his face into the pavement, so run like the wind
Like the wind
Like the wind

So why is it so hard for me to believe her
When she's talking about some guy I called a friend?
Why do I think his smile means more than his hands around her neck?
Shallow social ties, "he's such a nice guy," this instinct to defend?
Am I a Judas goat?
Am I a Catholic priest
Ignoring all the altar boys crying on their knees?
He was so sweet to me
So I turn a blind eye
I have this instinct to call her crazy cause he's such a nice guy

A year or two ago, outside the Wisco, some guy out front wants to drive me home
He won't take no for an answer
All alone on an empty train, a man comes in and starts to masturbate,
There's nobody in the car to hear me scream
All the times I was terrified, hid my rejection with a smile,
All the times my body made me weak
Am I Patty Hearst?
Reading a book by its cover?
If she says that she was scared, why wouldn't I believe her?
Looking out the window
Of the empty train
I think I see myself out there,
but I can't be sure,
I've turned away--
