You called me underrated Said you could look at me forever I believed in you, somehow Only time would tell How long we could be together My threshold's so much smaller now And of course, I want to be loved And I'm not a fan of giving up I just need convincing A paradox, a woman of stone To want to be loved and left alone I am blindingly cold and numb I am too hot for my tongue A young doll of twenty-five You said I got years to live my life, Play the field, or settle down Keep consideration, What I do with time is mine I could squander it all just to let you down Each day I wonder why I live here anymore Each day I wonder what I'm working toward I just need convincing A paradox, a woman of stone To want to be loved and left alone I am blindingly cold and numb I am too hot for my tongue I felt suffocated so I went back to Alabama God is laughing at me now Green fields and blue skies I could be alone forever Sweet evil, I'll make you a vow And I just don't sleep much at all, these days It's like I'm waiting up to hear someone say, "The truth doesn't need convincing." A paradox, a woman of stone To want to be loved and left alone I am blindingly cold and numb I am too hot for my tongue A paradox, a woman of stone To want to be loved and left alone I am blindingly cold and numb I am too hot for my tongue
