Why Don't You Love Me Anymore - John Grant

My friends all say that you’re no good

That you’re not fit to shine my shoes

They say that you are not the caliber of man

That I deserve to have

Well, I don’t know that much about guns

But I feel like I’ve been shot by one

I am ashamed 'cause I don’t know myself right now

And I am 43

The knowledge that I can’t be what you need

Is cutting off my air supply

And yet this information has not reached my heart

And that’s why I still try

They say that I should go outside more

And drink lots of water all the time

But that does not seem to be working

'Cause you still have not come back to me

Why don’t you love me anymore?

Tell me--why don’t you love me anymore?

I feel like telling everyone

To fuck off all the time

'Cause they don’t know

I keep expecting Woody Allen

To come out from those dark shadows

I watched Jane Eyre last night

And thought about which role

Would work the best for me

My mind is tired, and all I’m doing now

Is worrying my friends and family

Why don’t you love me anymore?

Tell me--why don’t you love me anymore?

Just in case you didn’t hear me

Ask before…

Tell me--why don’t you love me anymore?
