Asking For Flowers Lyrics

Asking For Flowers lyrics

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 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 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 made

Every plan I tried to make



And 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



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



Don't tell me you're too tired

10 years I've been working nights
