spoiling me

Elegance 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
