Poison Ivy by Matthew Thiessen

Poison ivy
Better condition than I be
Hook me to an I.V.
While I whisper 'Why me?'

In the freezer
Your words give me seizures
And if we take a breather
We'll break up and be hurt

Chorus

I won't let you buy cigarettes
But I'll let you by with regrets
One thing I'll find a sure bet
A caged bird will fly if she's left

And I'll try not to cry
Your fingers dry my eyes
A memory I'll never forget

I've been wronged
Of little defence
And I'll sing a song
Of inconsequence

And my days
With you are numbered
And I'll be amazed
If we see another

Chorus

So
Now you're gone
We always said
That would be the best thing

Now
I fear I'm wrong,
Or at least
That's what my heart is confessing

Cos I miss you
And I wish you
Were someone that I could forget
Cos I miss you
And I wish you
Were not number one on my list
My list of regrets
Now I'm broken up
Because we've broken up
It's all a big 'what if'
What if I'd spoken up
For what I wanted?

Poison ivy
Better condition than I be
Hook me to an I.V.
While I whisper 'Why me?'
