Nobody Waits

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 and 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?

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

And 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

If nobody waits for me

You only want me when I'm well

You only want me when I'm okay
