"Nobody" lyrics

She woke me up at dawn
Soft-spoken as a spider
Spinning webs of holy words while she was still asleep
Kill the moon beneath my window
Pull the covers tighter
And hear her voice go swinging like a hatchet through the trees

There's a shadow at the back door
Something's moving in the shade
She lights cigarettes like lanterns
For the darkness in my head

Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
Like she tells me she does

Tender as a bruise
Sharper than a razor
Wraps her tentacles around me
Like she'll never let me go
Fury shakes the rafters, but never in my favor
I'm trembling in the eye of the only storm I've ever known

The keys are in the back door
Something's wailing in my chest
It eclipses every siren
Any sins that she's confessed

Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
So she tells me
Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
Like she tells me she does

I should be counting blessings
Something is better than nothing
Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it
It's close enough to perfect
What does it hurt, a little bit?
A little bit
A little bit

Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
Like she loves me
Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me
Nobody ever loved me
Like she tells me she does
