i opened my eyes while you were kissing me once more than once and you looked as sincere as a dog just as sincere as a dog does when it's the food on your lips with which it's in love i bet you could never tell but you didnt know me that well it is my fault you see you never learned that much from me oh you silly stupid passed time of mine you were always good for a rhyme and from the first to the last time the sign said stop but we went on whole hearted it ended bad but i love what we started it said stop but we went on whole hearted it ended bad but i love what we started i took off my glasses while you were yelling at me once more than once so as not to see you see me react shoulda put them on again so i could see you see me sincerely yelling back i bet your fortress fades it is by the grace of me you never learned what i could see oh you silly stupid passed time of mine you were always good for a rhyme all the last times all the signs said stop but we went on whole hearted it ended bad but i love what we started it said stop but we went on whole hearted it ended bad but i love what we started ~Fiona Apple |

It's hard to explain why you stick with someone you know isn't any good for you. And I think Fiona pokes some subtle fun at the idea in this song. "You were good for a rhyme" and amen! Some of the worst relationships make for some of the best life-lessons. This song is simple but says in so few words what so many of us go through. We know what we're doing to ourselves but we say oh well and go through it. In the end, you can't entirely blame a bad relationship on the other person - you had to have been getting something out of it. Here, Fiona says "..eh... it wunt all that but it was good while it lasted..." |
