LOVE ME, DON'T ASK


you've sorted out
everything you want and need
you suck my juice
and digest it slowly

i'm full of lists you've imposed on me
you think you're lighting up my match
instead you're building an iceberg

you want me to talk but when i do
you pulverize every word
you want me to cry but when i do
you make fun of my tears
why do you make fun of my fears

you claim to have earned
a masters in relationship
you sit me on your lap
and lecture me every night
I think you might learn something from me
one thing you seem to forget
you know, we never stop learning

you want me to talk but when i do
you pulverize every word
you want me to cry but when i do
you make fun of my tears
why do you make fun of my fears

love me, don't ask
don't preach
cause I'm not a child
just warm me up

you want me to talk but when i do
you pulverize every word
you want me to cry but when i do
you make fun of my tears
why do you make fun of my fears
