She Says Lyrics - Not So Soft - Ani Difranco

She says forget what you have to do 

Pretend there is nothing 

Outside this room 

And like an idea she came to me 

But she came too late 

Or maybe too soon 

I said please try not to love me 

Close your eyes, I'm turning on the light 

You know I have no vacancy 

And it's awfully cold outside tonight 

The rain stains the brick a darker red 

Slowly I'm rolling out of her bed 

The rain stains the streets a darker black 

I dress my face in stone 

Because I can't go back 

I feel her eyes watching me 

From behind the curtain of her hair 

And she says I'm sorry 

I didn't mean to stare 

I say I think I really have to go now 

But oh baby, maybe someday 

Maybe somehow.
