It's complicated Technically I'm certified A walking declaration Of everything I couldn't get right Time is just an anchor But seven 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 Ten 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 Ten 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 Ten years I've been working nights Don't tell me you're too tired Ten years I've been working nights
