Kathleen Edwards - Asking For Flowers Lyrics
It's complicated
Technically I'm certified
A walking declaration
Of everything I couldn't get right
Time is just an anchor
Now you've changed your number
It's like a noose around my life
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every penny I put away
Asking for flowers
Is like asking you to be nice
Don't tell me you're too tired
My life is like a picture left
Out too long in the sun
Now I'm trying to remember all
The faces of the names i've loved
And all that's left of me now is
A cigarette burning bright
And a fading memory of all the things
I tried to get right
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every penny I put away
Asking for flowers
Is like asking you to be nice
Don't tell me you're too tired
10 years I've been working nights
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every bill I went and paid
Every card I signed my name
Every time I poured my heart out
Every threat you made to move out
Every cruel word you let just slip out
Every cruel word you let just slip out

Kathleen Edwards Asking For Flowers Comments
I first heard this song on the CBC yesterday. Great song - I love the lyrics, vocals, guitars, and arrangement. Nice to know about another great Canadian singer/songwriter.
Kathleen Edwards: 'I never had a hit'. Well, for me you had plenty!
She's back finally!!
Again again again again......
A slice ok okay
God every time I hear this woman sing another song I swear it's the best. It started with 6 News one week ago
Story of my life.
Once is never enough for this song. I repeat and repeat. Then I go off and sing it for a while. Then I end up right back here.

Wayne Deja. and every threat she made to move out ?
