Fill my cup with intention
Only wanted attention
Built ourselves on the tension
But now we’re breaking
I don’t mean to go mention 
But I’m stuck in suspension
Wish away the obsession 
But I’m still taking 

Risks and chance is
something that I should go and stop
Then maybe I’ll not go and fast-forward the clock
Life can be a gift when you’re not carrying rocks
But here I go with the boulders 

How many dead plants have I been watering
Cause you’ve shut off my water 
And I can’t pay the bills oh oh oh oh
How could I stop time and end my suffering
I planted all your flowers
And now you’ve let them wilt

I’ve done all the tip-toeing 
While you skip around knowing
Just how much you messed it up
Act like you don’t give a f***
I kept biting my tongue around you
Had to hold my breath around you
Just when I started to doubt you
Should’ve trusted my gut ‘cause

Risks and chance is
something that I should go and stop
Then maybe I’ll not go and fast-forward the clock
Life can be a gift when you’re not carrying rocks
But here I go with the boulders 

How many dead plants have I been watering?
Cause you’ve shut off my water 
And I can’t pay the bills
How could I stop time and end my suffering?
I planted all your flowers
And now you’ve let them wilt

If I could go back and love you again
I would make sure that we remained friends
What a shame that this all had to end
In the way that it did but 
there’s no turning back now

Risk and chance is 
something that I should go and stop
Then maybe I’ll not go and fast-forward the clock
Life can be a gift when you’re not carrying rocks
But here I go with the boulders 

How many dead plants have I been watering?
Cause you’ve shut off my water 
And I can’t pay the bills oh oh oh oh
How could I stop time and end my suffering?
I planted all your flowers
And now you’ve let them wilt

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

How many dead plants have I been watering?
Cause you’ve shut off my water 
And I can’t pay the bills oh oh oh oh
How could I stop time and end my suffering?
I planted all your flowers
And now you’ve let them wilt
