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
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 made
every penny I put away

asking for flowers
is like asking you to be nice
don't tell me you're too tired
10 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 of me now is
a cigarette burning bright
and a fading memory of all the things
I tried to get right

every pill I took in vain
every meal for you I made
every plan I tried to make

asking for flowers
is like asking you to be nice
don't tell me you're too tired
10 years I've been working nights

every pill I took in vain
every meal for you I made
every 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
