Compliment - The Posies[00:00:00]

Well I've felt worse and I have felt[00:00:01]

Better than this[00:00:05]

I've made a pacifier[00:00:09]

Out of my fist[00:00:13]

Well I don't care when bones are bare[00:00:16]

The mind can't interfere[00:00:20]

And what I've said outside my head[00:00:24]

Anyone can hear[00:00:28]

Maybe I praise you 'cause I cannot praise myself[00:00:32]

Won't you just take[00:00:38]

A compliment from me [00:00:40]

Perhaps they're understated[00:00:44]

And a little overmasked[00:00:46]

If they were hand delivered[00:00:50]

It would be more than I could ask[00:00:52]

Forwardness ain't my business[00:00:55]

But you can fish for compliments[00:01:00]

While I beg for forgiveness[00:01:03]

I'd like to reap the flatteries I sow[00:01:08]

But I really cast seeds of doubt[00:01:12]

Looks like you take them from everyone[00:01:15]

And everyone hands them out[00:01:18]

Self mutilation just ain't my trip[00:01:20]

But now this is worth the trouble[00:01:23]

Cut me open with your laughter[00:01:26]

I bleed complementary colors[00:01:29]

Tender seedlings trampled[00:01:32]

And overwatered boughs[00:01:35]

Won't you just take[00:01:39]

A compliment from me [00:01:41]

Perhaps they're overstated[00:01:44]

And a little undermasked[00:01:47]

If they were what I really meant[00:01:50]

It would be more than I could ask[00:01:53]

Forwardness should be my business[00:01:56]

But you can fish for compliments[00:02:01]

While I beg for forgiveness[00:02:03]

Well I have tried every approach[00:02:16]

And they always leave me empty[00:02:19]

But each one has it's special way[00:02:23]

Of making everyone contempt me[00:02:26]

It seems rather selfish to want to be loved[00:02:30]

Or to love and expect you to care[00:02:34]

But my batteries don't run on flattery[00:02:37]

And it just gets me nowhere[00:02:40]

Oh when was I ever promised[00:02:44]

I'd get back all that I gave [00:02:47]

But I wouldn't care if you'd take[00:02:51]

A compliment from me[00:02:53]

Perhaps it's too late[00:02:57]

Or too much to expect[00:03:00]

But compliments that come no strings attached[00:03:03]

Well they're certainly the best[00:03:05]

Thing for me I adore you[00:03:08]

But you can fish for compliments[00:03:13]

And I won't be there to bore you[00:03:16]
