Ripe like coriander grown in his back yard I grew like your hatred grew for me
Smooth like alabaster stone you drew me to you and then you pushed me away
Caged with feathers clipped I loved to sing to you until i knew I’d never be set free

He felt so warm
When you had been so cold
He felt so warm
When you had been so cold

Dyed by box color, my hue muddied by him painting me a shade I didn’t know
Kleptomaniac he took me from my world to see if he could take me at all
Young like tulip bulbs you left me in the cold and told me I should grow on my own

He felt so warm
When you had been so cold
He felt so warm
When you had been so cold

Warm like sun kissed skin fresh like peppermint kissed by cold I can’t remember spring
Soft like chamomile but you taught me how to feel dependent on nobody but myself
