To Be Held

3:55Elegance and ebony Daisies on the mantle You're meeting my family You're lighting up candles Introduce your mom to me I wear your flannel You ask me to dance You know I always will There are flowers and postcards and handwritten notes White tablecloths and the warmth of your coat Bracelets and patience and driving me home We're in love and everyone knows 'cause You're spoiling me You're spoiling me Laughing at your TV screen With you I binge I said I can't watch anything If I know the end We watch what you want I said I didn't care You're stealing the blankets 'Cause you know you can And I am left speechless at episode ten Until you let it slip that my favorite's dead I am so beyond pissed off, you don't understand It's an honest mistake I guess but You spoiled it for me You spoiled it for me If I ask you for space you write seven-page letters I used to think that meant I couldn't do better You blow up at me then you pay for my dinner I used to think that meant I wound up the winner But front after front I was taught to forgive You bought me to rot on the shelves of your fridge And you keep me around 'til you're hungry enough But my face has gone grey There is mold in my gut Expired and rotten and long overdue You left me to wilt without courage to shoot 'Cause you're just kind enough to keep me in the loop I have never met poison like you how You're spoiling me You're spoiling me
