It Hurts To Be An Apostrophe

from The Men Of A Thousand Excuses by The Tomorrow File

lyrics

It hurts to be an apostrophe
In someone's life who claimed they once loved me
A trivial nothing who turned out to be
The product of carnality

It hurts to be a footnote when
You become part of the slagheap of available men
A name, a face, a place in time
And to think I thought you were mine

Give back what you took
I'm bleeding, mama, will you take a look?
You turned me into something that I've never been
A man among beasts, and a beast among men

It hurts to be an apostrophe
In someone's life who claimed they once loved me
An expendable nothing that couldn't stack up
Lies of size and a 34-B cup

It hurts to be a colon when
The screw in your ass goes right up to your neck
A question mark would suite me fine
I may be sensitive but I'm not blind

Give back what you took
I'm bleeding, mama, will you take a look?
You turned me into something that I've never been
A man among beasts, and a beast among men

It hurts to be an apostrophe
In someone's life who claimed they once loved me
Something still persists, something doesn't add up
Was it me? Were we really in love?

It hurts me deeply, it hurts me bad
I can't begin to tell you how it makes me sad
You left like you planned and you think its fine
And to think I thought you were mine.
