It's Cool, We Can Still be Friends

I've expressed my love for Bright Eyes star Conor Oberst before, and I'm going to do it again.
Today while I was cleaning my house, I was listening to my iPod when a familiar song came on, "It's Cool, We Can Still be Friends" This is one of my favourite songs of all time, but I only listen to it occasionally because it makes me sad, so I save it for those times where I'm full of pity and angst. Today I was listening to the song, and I was really listening to it, and I heard one line that made me go 'wow'. For those of you interested in hearing the song, i'll embed here.

The line that caught my attention was " And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer

Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer
Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, but let's contrast and compare
Lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there "

I love this line, because it's so powerful in how he delivers it and also in what he's saying. I love when he says 'lets contrast and compare' i'm can't articulate why, but I just do. I'm amazed at Conor's ability to write with such emotion.
His ability to project so much emotion with an acoustic guitar and his voice is simply astonishing!
