[Intro]
Okay
[Chorus]
You can watch me do the dishes all day
Sit and wait for me to serve you on a silver tray
And it goes to show just how much of us goes to waste
When the timer rings, you'll know it was not your place
You can watch me do the dishes, do the dishes all day
I'm no longer just the type to smile and do as you say
Oh, you really know just how to leave a bitter taste
When the timer rings, you'll know it was not your place
[Verse 1]
Clean me up, oh, I wish you'd cleaned me up
Wipe the dirt and all the crumbs
Yet you sat there playing dumb, yeah-yeah
I should've known, how could I be so wrong?
Thought that we were set in stone
It was dress up all along
[Pre-Chorus]
You and I combined
Bad as cheapest wine
I can redefine
Mix and make it mine
[Chorus]
You can watch me do the dishes all day
Sit and wait for me to serve you on a silver tray
And it goes to show just how much of us goes to waste
When the timer rings, you'll know it was not your place
You can watch me do the dishes, do the dishes all day
I'm no longer just the type to smile and do as you say
Oh, you really know just how to leave a bitter taste
When the timer rings, you'll know it was not your place
[Verse 2]
Come around, now you've come around
Darling, there's no second chance
To the games in your playground, yeah-yeah
Oh, I swore, I check before I pour
When you ask for more and more
It ends up spilling on the floor
[Bridge]
Through all the burns and all the clutter
I thought I'd still have your shoulder
To lean on when I needed but somehow you're feeling colder
For you, I've been giving up, giving up now
Baby, now I'm backing up, taking a bow
[Pre-Chorus]
You and I combined
Bad as cheapest wine
I can redefine
Mix and make it mine
[Chorus]
You can watch me do the dishes all day
Sit and wait for me to serve you on a silver tray
And it goes to show just how much of us goes to waste
When the timer rings, you'll know it was not your place
You can watch me do the dishes, do the dishes all day
I'm no longer just the type to smile and do as you say
Oh, you really know just how to leave a bitter taste
When the timer rings, you'll know it was not your place

I wrote this song about a one-sided relationship… It’s about someone who gives it their all, while the other sits and watches. It speaks about being taken for granted and walked all over. However, as the song goes on, this person realizes their worth and gets out of this draining relationship and co...
