Poison Ivy
Better condition than I’d be
Hook me to an IV
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

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 is 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
With little defense
And I’ll sing a song
Of inconsequence
And my days
With you a number
And I’ll be amazed
If we see another

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

So now you’ve gone way away
Say that would be the best thing
Now I fear I’m wrong or at least that’s what my heart is confessing
Cause I miss you
And I wish you
Were someone that I could forget
Cause 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
But if I’d spoken up
For what I wanted

Poison Ivy
Better condition than I’d be
Hook me to an IV
While I whisper, “Why me?”
