lyrics

you only want me when I’m well.
you only want me when I’m okay, and today I am
unwell. I take it you don’t find it charming.

I’ll only want you once
you’re gone. I’ll only want you once
it’s too late. and I’ve been angry,
I’ve been wrong and resolute
in my absolution:

loving me is leaving
a kettle on the stove
of a house where
you never had the key.
are you still bothered by
the ghosts, do they ever mention me?

you only want me if I’m yours
but I am no one’s
for the taking. we wake up
cradled on the floor. new
year’s day: a spark, a flame,
you think you love me
just because you watched me

sleep. leaving a kettle on the stove
of a house where nobody has the key.
you don’t know me anymore -
it’s okay, if nobody waits for me

if nobody waits for me
if nobody waits for me
if nobody waits for me

you only want me when I’m well
you only want me when I’m okay
