Wilted on Arrival

You bring me flowers
But they grow wilted on arrival
And it's alright
Because you still love me, don’t you?

Please say you do, because I do
But you're just following your habits
Of your titles and lies
Why should I ever knock you down?

Yet when we dance in your bedroom in the morning
There's a look of ache in your face
As if you don’t want to be here

Let's talk this through
Before everything crumbles
Around us, darling
Something bad is going to happen

But, after everything that's happened
It's not good to try for you
Because it makes us both unhappy
So please, please just get this over with

Go set fire to my things
And I'll set fire to yours
I said one word and you roared me
As if I broke the world for you
Unexpected, educated and focused on your wall
So, I'll just leave. As far as you're concerned
We never happened at all

You bring me flowers
But they grow wilted on arrival
And it's alright
