[Verse 1]
Ripe like coriander grown in his back yard
I grew like your hatred grew for me
Smooth like alabaster stone you drew me to you
And then you pushed me away
Caged with feathers clipped I loved to sing to you
Until I knew I’d never be set free

[Chorus]
He felt so warm
When you had been so cold
He felt so warm
When you had been so cold

[Verse 2]
Dyed by box color, my hue muddied by him
Painting me a shade I didn’t know
Kleptomaniac, he took me from my world
To see if he could take me at all
Young like tulip bulbs you left me in the cold
And told me I should grow on my own

[Chorus]
He felt so warm
When you had been so cold
He felt so warm
When you had been so cold

[Verse 3]
Warm like sun kissed skin fresh like peppermint
Kissed by cold, I can’t remember spring
Soft like chamomile but you taught me how to feel
Dependent on nobody but myself
