Flowers

Now we reached the end

I ran the marathon

The road had many bends

But we knew that all along

I think it made me stronger

But I would rather not

Betray myself just to keep your love at any cost

And it's most tempting to give in

When you hear the firin' shots

When you're steps from winning back

All the happiness you lo-o-o-ost

Lo-o-o-o-ost

Lo-o-o-ost lo-o-o-o-ost

With every careless action you let me slip away

If you just bought me flowers maybe I would've stayed

You didn't think I was serious I guess you felt so safe

If you just bought me flowers maybe I would've stayed

Maybe I would've stayed

Maybe I would've stayed

The seeds we planted grew

But not like roses do

We had the thorns and leaves

But the buds they never bloomed

And now my future gleams

With colors bold and bright

In a home that's filled with love and hope

And a life that just feels right

And it's most tempting to give in

When you're almost at the top

When you're steps from winning back

All the happiness you lo-o-o-ost

Lo-o-o-o-ost

Lo-o-o-ost lo-o-o-o-ost

With every careless action you let me slip away

If you just bought me flowers maybe I would've stayed

You didn't think I was serious I guess you felt so safe

If you just bought me flowers maybe I would've stayed

Maybe I would've stayed

Maybe I would've stayed

I wouldn't have walked away

I wouldn't have walked away

And there's no heartbreak left to feel

It happened years ago

After you made your choices

I melted away like snow

'Cause you like lying to yourself

And now I'll never know

What parts of your love were for real

And what parts were for show

With every careless action you let me slip away

If you just bought me flowers maybe I would've stayed

You didn't think I was serious I guess you felt so safe

If you just bought me flowers maybe I would've stayed

Maybe I would've stayed

Maybe I would've stayed

I wouldn't have walked away

I wouldn't have walked away
