Heartworms - Flipped

Well, I guess I'm just here to test your patience
 'Cause you're so smart my tricks don't work at all
 Is it my lack of education?
 Just tell me why you never call
 Behind your symmetry lies a fundamental difference
 There are those who own the mines and those who crawl
 No offense but, in between the lines I'm reading
 You look out for your own
 And you ain't gonna look at me that way
 And it's true
 So what can I do?
 Anything to get some of your affection
 (What can I do?)
 Maybe impress you with a song
 (What can I do?)
 I'm trying to minimize the damage
 Done 'cause there ain't no one like you
 I found the postcard from that trip you took to Thailand
 I remember studying all the words written in your pretty hand
 The little lines and little curves that held a sacred meaning
 Or so I thought
 But I had it wrong
 Now I'm trying to figure out when it was you gave me these heartworms
 I feel them wriggling in my blood, you gonna do me harm
 Right now I'd rather lose this losing
 Feeling
 That came on when you cooled off
 Started treating me in this friendly way
 And it's true
 So what can I do?
 Oh won't you be still for a moment
 (What can I do?)
 So I can push a feather through your heart
 (What can I do?)
 I'm trying to minimize damage done 'cause there ain't no one like you
 Tell me, what can I do?
 (What can I do?)
 When I get lonely to distraction
 (What can I do?)
 Maybe impress you with a song
 (What can I do?)
 No easy way around it
 You're the saddest dream that ever came true
