Lyrics Look - The Weather Station

Look

Look me in the eye — do me that courtesy
Pretend to tell me why you cannot hear me
Look me in the eye — give me your best excuse
Tell me there has been a use for this pain
That I do not have to feel, I know that you do not
But from my heart I peel the skin from this rot
Look me in the eye — that is all I’m asking you
I know that you don’t want to
I know that it’s hard for you
Take hold of my hand while you are shaking it
Looking for my goodwill, for my approval
While you are letting me down
While you express regret
And while you tell me again
About your helplessness
Am I gonna make a fool of myself, am I gonna cry here?
I notice that you turn away, and gesture to your volunteers
Don’t you know I have come to you?
Just like I am supposed to, when there is something you can do
But you are not going to
