lyrics

I can’t remember how I feel
Cause I got tangled up in the ideal
I only wanted something real
Now I can’t remember how I feel

I stare at the portrait from outside the frame
Inspecting, perfecting, so I can attain
A picture that’s perfect, a woman who’s worth it
Such a waste, such a god damn shame

I never learn, I never learn
I fed on a false notion:
A woman’s worth, a woman’s work
Is to win your desire and devotion

If I’m not the subject I guess I’m the other
His inspiration, his muse or his mother
All beauty and grace, not taking up space
Such a waste, such a god damn shame

I can’t remember how I feel
Cause I got tangled up in the ideal
I only wanted something real
Now I can’t remember how I feel

I never learn, I never learn
I fed on a false notion:
A woman’s worth, a woman’s work
Is to win your desire and devotion

I can’t remember how I feel
Cause I got tangled up in the ideal
I only wanted something real
Now I can’t remember how I feel

I can’t remember how I feel
Cause I got tangled up in the ideal
I only wanted something real
Now I can’t remember how I feel
