Asking For Flowers Lyrics - Asking For Flowers - Kathleen Edwards

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
