Selfless, Cold & Composed

[B. Folds]

I said what you wanted to hear
And what I wanted to say
So I will take it back
And all of the dishes intact?
Let them be broken, broken

It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
You remain selfless, cold and composed

You've done me no favor
To call and be nice
Telling me I
Can take anything I like
You don't owe me to be so polite
You've done no wrong
You've done no wrong
Get out of my sight

It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
To be selfless, cold and composed

Come on baby, now throw me a right to the chin
Don't just stare like you never cared
I know you did
You just smiled like a bank teller
Blankly telling me
Have a nice life

Come on baby now throw me a right to the chin
Just one sign that could show me that you give a shit
But you just smile politely
And I grow weaker and I
Said what you wanted to hear
And what I wanted to say
So I will take it back

It's easy to be
Easy and free
When it doesn't mean anything
It doesn't mean anything
You can take anything
You can take anything
You're so selfless, cold,
so selfless, cold,
so selfless, cold,
and composed
