Won't Mine Kill Yours

from The Right Tools by Elly Kellner

/

lyrics

Me never putting roots in the ground
Me never wanting, wanting more
Me screaming encore, encore
So loud in my head
So loud, it just makes me sad

If I put my roots into your soil
Won't mine kill yours
And won't we starve to death
If this is all we have

If I want to water you
And put you in the sun
But couldn't stand the bees sniffing at your flowers
What if I wanted you
Every hour of every day
Would you still stay

Me never weeding weeds from the ground
Me never wanting, flowers before
My heart is so sore, so sore
From wanting more
Wanting, it makes me confused

If I put my roots into your soil
Won't mine kill yours
And won't we starve to death
If this is all we have

If I want to water you
And put you in the sun
But couldn't stand the bees sniffing at your flowers
What if I wanted you
Every hour of every day
Would you still stay
