Poltergeist Lyrics

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 smiles up at you
Just because you're his mother.
And i can't stand the bitter thing that i've become
Beneath 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.
And 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.


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