lush life

now you see it now you don't
now you want me to sit on your lap
now you want to play it cool with your friends

so what am i supposed to be now?
i have never felt so invisible in my life
so you wanted me here because you love me
and because you wanted me to help you get up the stairs when you are
too drunk to walk

i do love you but

you could be nice to me once in a while
it wouldn't kill you
and you could tell me when i do something you like
instead of only noticing when i'm wrong
i don't mean to be the whiney girlfriend but

i just get tired of being taken for granted

but i wouldn't tell you this tonight
because that wouldn't be fair
and you wouldn't remember
and i would just end up crying

i've always been a lightweight like this
i can drink and drink and drink
like the ocean isn't enough
but i fall down the stairs five minutes later

chainsmoking and crying quietly in the backyard
only to go back into the kitchen and see the

EMPTY BLENDER

uh oh
no more daquirri

here comes the flood
