His Pleasure Is My Pain Lyrics - Picking Up The Pieces - Jewel

A man stands in the doorway like a small child 

Angry fists 

She lies on 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 let's his voice fade away 

And she thinks... 

This was a gradual steel frost 

That started with cold feet 

And ended with numb hearts 

This was once satisfying sex but now no longer is 

It was once filled with the possibilities of new china or old stone 

But now it's exagerated and waterlogged 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 

Nooo I never meant to make him cry 

Never meant to make him hurt that way 

Yes it's true, I'm too senstive 

But he takes pleasure in my pain. 

Yes it's true, I'm too senstive 

But he takes pleasure in my pain. 

And the unheard hours they fly by 

She goes to the window 

She puts on a nightgown and brushes her hair 

He's already asleep 

By the time she 

Photos 

Goes and lays herself back down. 

She thinks 

My god, what am I doing hear? 

My bones have grown tired of his hunger, of his gray eyes, 

And I feel if I were to stay one more night here I'd die or explode 

Or worse yet just fade away. 

There have been days so dark that I felt like august 

And that I soon too would turn to fall. 

He always said I was too sensitive that if I cared so much 

The world could kill me that way. 

I wonder if he's only half alive or if he's simply always been this 

Inarticulate, 

Cause I say 

And she get's out of bed and looks at her feet as though they 

Were the wings for her freedom 

She gets up and goes to the door 

It's a moment in which anything can happen 

Instead she gets out some clothing 

Puts it in a bag and leaves him sleeping 

While she heads for the door
