The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You just don't love me
And I just don't care
Oh I never said I would play fair
Something so perfect and so rare
There is no cure
There's not a prayer, a prayer
So what can I do
I am the only perfect choice
You've met your match
I've lost my voice
And when you're gone it gets so cold
I swear I'm too young to be this old, this old
So what can I do
Oh I've been bitter
You know what's pure
And you know what's right
But I'm forever
Just do the right thing
For once in your life, in your life
I've got a right to be this wrong
It started with a lie ending
All of me aches and the best of me is gone
And all that I am is out and lay bare, and lay bare
So what can I do
So what can I do
Oh I've been begging
You know what's pure
And you know what's right
But I'm forever
Just do the right thing
For once in your life, in your life
So what can I do
It's all I am
It's all I am
It's all I am
It's all I am
Oh I've been cheated
Covered in diamonds and covered in filth
But I'm still breathing
Oh please stick around
And I'll build you a world
I'll build you a world
Oh I've been strangled
Passed beyond sex and cut down to size
My life just dangles
Oh there's no context
For once in my life, in my life
So what can I do
So what can I do
I know that I'm just a lost girl
But please stick around
And I'll build you a world
I'll build you a world
I'll build you a world
