She gave me lavender As an alternative I didn’t say to her What I was thinking I’ve been here longer Than I was hoping I’m going crazy feels like I’m losing it all And we’re in the kitchen again She’s drinking her coffee We talk and I pretend That I can handle anything But I want to feel like a baby I could die contently In her arms of safety Take the pressure away To just a baby and her mother There is nothing stronger Than something so delicate Something like lavender She is overworked Disgustingly underpaid And I doubt the children even know her real name She likes to complain a lot And it’s fair enough cos’ she never stops And I bite my lip until it bleeds 'Cause some days it’s even hard to speak But she still picks me up and saves me every week And we’re in the kitchen again She’s drinking her coffee We talk and I pretend That I can handle anything But I want to feel like a baby I could die contently In her arms of safety Take the pressure away To just a baby and her mother There is nothing stronger Than something so delicate Something like lavender And we’re in the kitchen again
