I Was Fine Before You Got Here
Just so you know
I wasn't looking for a seashell
I turned my back
And 'fore I knew it
I was wearing black
I made the prison
I made the cage
Sewed it from flesh wounds
And patched it with bandaids
The key is under my tongue
I put it there last year
Didn't know you would come
What I meant to say
I was fine without you anyway
Don't know, don't care
The house was fine when I was there
I don't need your money
I don't need your food
Send back this dress
It's the wrong shade of blue
I keep my words
In the cabinet upstairs
And no, you can't read them
That's why they're there
So stay or go
You don't seem to care
And I don't know
Clock hands, clock chimes
There are other ways of keeping time
Why should I hate you
For making me care
For taking the dog out
And combing my hair
Please close the door
And put that away
You can leave me a note
If you're planning to stay
I wasn't looking for a seashell
I turned my back
And 'fore I knew it
I was wearing black
I made the prison
I made the cage
Sewed it from flesh wounds
And patched it with bandaids
The key is under my tongue
I put it there last year
Didn't know you would come
What I meant to say
I was fine without you anyway
Don't know, don't care
The house was fine when I was there
I don't need your money
I don't need your food
Send back this dress
It's the wrong shade of blue
I keep my words
In the cabinet upstairs
And no, you can't read them
That's why they're there
So stay or go
You don't seem to care
And I don't know
Clock hands, clock chimes
There are other ways of keeping time
Why should I hate you
For making me care
For taking the dog out
And combing my hair
Please close the door
And put that away
You can leave me a note
If you're planning to stay
