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
