I’ve Killed Another House Plant

Lyrics

You were green, lush, and in your prime
I promised water, but I forgot the time.
I set you by the window,
Didn't notice the shadow
Forgive my neglect, my botanical sin,
I'll remember you fondly, as I throw your pot in the bin.

Oh no, not again,
I’ve killed another house plant, my friend.
I swore I’d change, after the last ten,
But here we are, with another plant end.
Another one bites the dust,
It’s just a plant, but I feel unjust.
Sorry dear sprout, for my forgetful plan,
Guess I’m the reaper with a watering can
Another one bites the dust,

I named you Leafy, thought that’d make a bond,
Planned to water you, from evening to dawn.
But the TV called, and the couch, it beckoned,
Forgot your drink, now you’re more dried than reckoned.

You tried where you were, in your pot so chic,
Meant to thrive, not turn antique.


Oh no, not again,
I’ve killed another house plant, my friend.
I swore I’d change, after the last ten,
But here we are, with another plant end.
Another one bites the dust,
It’s just a plant, but I feel unjust.
Sorry dear sprout, for my forgetful plan,
Guess I’m the reaper with a watering can

So rest in peace, dear verdant mate,
In that big garden in the sky, you wait.
I’ll pour one out, though it’s much too late,
Here’s to hopes of a greener fate.

Oh no, not again,
I’ve killed another house plant, my friend.
I swore I’d change, after the last ten,
But here we are, with another plant end.
Another one bites the dust,
It’s just a plant, but I feel unjust.
Sorry dear sprout, for my forgetful plan,
Guess I’m the reaper with a watering can
