Lyrics:
Tea leaves sit at the bottom of my cup
I hate the taste but I’m sick
You heat it and I hold it mostly just to warm my hands
I'm more of a hot cocoa kid

You could never swallow pills when you were young
But now you seem to have no problem

Tea leaves sit at the bottom of my cup
You ask me “jelly, jam, or butter?”
You’re busy in the other room
Doing who knows what
Bread burns, but you make another

Smoke from the toast is a breath of fresh air

Tear drops sit at the bottom of my cup
Why does everyone place faith in the future?
Looking for umbrellas for when the drought is done
We found a pretty one on the computer

I don’t understand why you hurt you
When you take such good care of me

Am I allowed to be sad about these things?
