Testo His Pleasure Is My Pain - Jewel
Testo della canzone His Pleasure Is My Pain (Jewel), tratta dall'album Picking Up the Pieces
A man stands in the doorway like a small child
Angry fists
She lies in her bed, her head buried in her pillow
And she stares at the moon
He speaks to her all the words she's heard too many times before
And pretty soon she just lets his voice fade away
And she thinks
This was a gradual steel frost
That started with cold feet and ended with numb hearts
It was once satisfying sex but now no longer is
It was once filled with all the possibilities of new china
Or old stone
But now it's exaggerated and water-logged
No longer what these hands had intended
And still I cry in my sleep
He always said I was too sensitive
But I say
At least I never meant to make him cry
At least I never meant to make him hurt that way
No, I never meant to make him cry
I never meant to make him hurt that way
Yes, it's true, I'm too sensitive
But he takes pleasure in my pain
Yes, it's true, I'm too sensitive
But he takes pleasure in my pain
And the unheard hours, they fly by
As she goes to the window
She puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair
He's already asleep
By the time she goes to lay back down
She thinks, "My god, what am I doing here?"
My bones have grown tired of his hunger
Of his gray eyes
And I feel that if I were to stay one more night here
I'd die or explode or worse yet, just fade away
And there've been days so dark when I felt like August
And that I soon too would turn to fall
He always said I was too sensitive
If I dared to care so much, the world could kill me that way
I wonder if he's only half alive
Or if he simply has always lacked such subtlety
'Cause I say
At least I never meant to make him cry
At least I never meant to make him hurt this way
No, I never meant to make him cry
I never meant to make him hurt this way
Yes, it's true, I'm too sensitive
But he takes pleasure in my pain
Yes, it's true, I'm too sensitive
But he takes pleasure in my pain
She gets out of bed and looks at her feet
As though they were the wings for her freedom
She gets up and goes to the drawer
It's a moment in which anything could happen
But she gets out some clothing and puts them in a bag
And leaves him sleeping while she heads for the door
