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 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
