sensitive if I dared to care so much, the world could kill me that way I wonder if he's only half alive or if he simply has always been this inarticulate VERSE II: but I say, at least I never meant to make him cry at least I never meant to make him hurt that way no, I never meant to make him cry I never meant to make him hurt that way CHORUS: yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but he takes pleasure in my pain yes it's true, I'm too sensitive but he takes pleasure in my pain VERSE III: she gets out of bed and looks at her feet as though they were the wings for her freedom she gets up and goes to
