Poltergeist

[Verse 1]

I can't stand it when you tell our infant son

That he was born beneath a bad sign

And I can't stand it when he smiles up at you

Just because you're his mother

And I can't stand the bitter thing that I've become

Between the four walls that hold up our ceiling

And I wonder when the house gets real quiet

Who between us will be the first one to give into the feeling

[Refrain]

And I know, I know you don't want me to hurt you tonight

And I, I don't want you to hurt me the way you do

[Verse 2]

I can't stand it when you put the boy to bed and you

Sing him those songs I used to sing to you

Yeah I can't stand to hear you sing those songs

When you know you don't mean them

And I can't stand the way my body still remembers

How much we used to mean to one another way back when

And I can't stand going back to seek the shelter of your arms

And then I can't stand it again

[Refrain]

And I know, I know you don't want me to hurt you tonight

And I, I don't want you to hurt me the way you do
