How to Kill Houseplants

Call it what you want
Call it what you like
Just be honest before switching off the lights
What a pretty fight
Please put down the knife
We can call it and I can leave tonight
But she said

Water me darling
Love is a garden
It hasn't rained and it's starting to show
Water me darling
Love is a garden
It hasn't rained and it's starting to snow
Re-reading our messages, I'm sorry I was cold
Pull myself away from you 'cause that's just what I know
Water me darling
Love is a garden
It hasn't rained, I don't want you to go

Put it on ice so I can sleep tonight
Know I need you, right?
If that means anything to you
I just called to say
Throwing this away would be such a waste
I'm on my way

Water me darling
Love is a garden
It hasn't rained and it's starting to show
Water me darling
Love is a garden
It hasn't rained and it's starting to snow
Re-reading our messages, I'm sorry I was cold
Pull myself away from you 'cause that's just what I know
Water me darling
Love is a garden
It hasn't rained, I don't want you to go

Re-reading our messages over again
Pull myself away from you over again
Picking through the pieces of you I have left
Crying on the corner of somebody's bed
Call my dad and tell him it's not going well
Mama, do you love me? I'm going to hell
Eating at the memory of something I said
Why'd you take it that way? It's not what I meant
