youre sorry

i wish you werent a robot.
my living room is painted a deep grey blue.
i wish i had one thousand dollars.
my feet wouldnt be so cold.
and i wouldnt keep waiting by the phone.
id be in belize.
or lima.
or rio, baby, yeah rio.
because the summer is winter
and nothing there reminds me of you.

i wish you werent a robot.
that i didnt have to spoon feed you
to keep you alive.
and hold a mirror over to your mouth at night
to catch your breath.
my heart would hurt less without you around.
i wish that were true and that
my heart was enough to make you stay.
my heart was enough to make you stay.

i wish you werent a robot.
that i could count on you.
i dont want your fucking paycheck.
i dont need anymore scarves.
tell me you love me.
without being drunk.
i wish you werent a robot.
tin and metal and buttons pressed.
its boring and exhausting.
come out, come out,
where ever you are.
