Cure - Cut

I know, this is not technically about religion; it's a breakup song. But, sometime after I left the religion of my youth, I was listening to this song and it became about the loss of my relationship to what I once thought was a system of belief that brought me to the truth. I realized that I still cared about what the truth was, but that the church I had been raised in did not and never had- "When I look at you, I see face like stone, Eyes of ice, Mouth so sweetly telling lies, I wish you felt the way that I still do, But you don't, You don't feel anymore, It's all gone"







Cut

by Cure

If only you'd never speak to me
The way that you do
If only you'd never speak like that
It's like listening to
A breaking heart
A falling sky
Fire go out and friendship die
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do

If only you'd never look at me
The way that you do
If only you'd never look like that
When I look at you
I see face like stone
Eyes of ice
Mouth so sweetly telling lies
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone

If only you'd never pull from me
The way that you do
If only you'd never pull like that
When I'm with you
I feel hopeless hands helplessly
Pulling you back close to me
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do

If only you'd ever speak speak to me
The way you once did
Look at me the way you once did
Pull to me the way you once did
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone
It's all gone
