Asking For Flowers

It's complicated

Technically

I'm certified

A walking declaration

Of everything

I couldn't get right

Time is just an anchor

But 7 years

I think I'm right

And now you've changed your number

It's like a noose around my life

Every pill

I took in vain

Every meal for you

I madeEvery penny

I put away

Asking for flowers

Is like asking you to be nice

Don't tell me you're too tired10 years

I've been working nights

My life is like a picture left

Out too long in the sun

Now I'm trying to remember

All the faces of the names

I've loved

And all that's left to me now

Is a cigarette burning bright

Fading memory of

All the things

I tried to get right

Every pill

I took in vain

Every meal for you

I madeEvery plan

I tried to make

And asking for flowers

Is like asking you to be nice

Don't tell me you're too tired10 years

I've been working nights

Every pill

I took in vain

Every meal for you

I madeEvery bill

I went and paid

Every card

I signed my name

Every time

I poured my heart out

Every threat you made to move out

Every cruel word you let just slip out

Every cruel word you let just slip out

Asking for flowers

Is like asking you to be nice

Don't tell me you're too tired10 years

I've been working nights

Don't tell me you're too tired10 years

I've been working nights
