Lyrics for Why Don't You Love Me Anymore

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. 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 that this information hasn't 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...
