Asking for Flowers Lyrics


It's complicated
Technically I'm certified
A walking declaration
Of everything I couldn't get rightTime 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 lifeEvery pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every penny I put awayAsking for flowers
Is like asking you to be nice
Don't tell me you're too tired
10 years I've been working nightsMy 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 lovedAnd all that's left to me now
Is a cigarette burning bright
Fading memory of
All the things I tried to get rightEvery pill I took in vain

Every meal for you I made
Every plan I tried to makeAnd asking for flowers
Is like asking you to be nice
Don't tell me you're too tired
10 years I've been working nightsEvery pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every bill I went and paid
Every card I signed my nameEvery 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 outAsking for flowers
Is like asking you to be nice
Don't tell me you're too tired
10 years I've been working nightsDon't tell me you're too tired
10 years I've been working nights

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
