Loveless
La Bouquet Lyrics

Use my body for warmful sustenance after I'm gone

You're sleeping in our day away

Maybe I'm just loveless

Maybe I'm just useless

Maybe I'm not loveless

Maybe I'm just hopeless enough to feel alone

But selfish enough to write this song

Paintings in the foyer

Will that last long after we're dust? After we die?

Left a note, it said:

A cigarette by my side

A bouquet from me as I watch you leave
