The Flowers

Lyrics

Now it's just a memory and it's hard to think
 Hard to think about it
 'Bout the love I left behind, I can't help but think
 What could I have done about it?
 But deep inside I know
 It's your fault that I'm not there
 Once you put aside your pride
 I know that you saw it so clearly
 That you're nearly losing your mind, tryna rewind
 Do what you did and didn't do, so I'm telling you
 You should have did so much more to show you loved me
 I'm wishing, I wish you would have gave me the flowers
 (When I could smell them)
 And I'm wishing, I wish you would have held me for hours
 (When I was around)
 Now there's nothing you can do
 But to wish I was with you
 But it's too little, too late, too late, too late
 Press rewind to go back in time
 So there's nothing you can do
 'Cause I'm no longer missing you
 You should have gave me the flowers
 (When I could smell them)
 'Cause now I'm gone
 And baby, it's so hard to believe you
 When you say that you promise you'll be better
 'Cause everything you're saying right now
 You were saying forever
 You should have showed you loved me
 You should have spent more time
 You should have been the answers
 To the questions in my mind
 But you're here, ain't going no where
 You'll never let me go
 (You'll never let me go)
 'Cause baby, I couldn't feel your love was real
 You took for granted what we had, so I'm telling you
 You should have did so much more to show you loved me
 I'm wishing, I wish you would have gave me the flowers
 (When I could smell them)
 And I'm wishing, I wish you would have held me for hours
 (When I was around)
 Now there's nothing you can do
 But to wish I was with you
 But it's too little, too late, too late, too late
 Press rewind to go back in time
 So there's nothing you can do
 'Cause I'm no longer missing you
 You should have gave me the flowers
 (When I could smell them)
 'Cause now I'm gone
 And it hurts so much inside for me to let you go
 (Let you go, yeah)
 But it hurts me so much more to stay with you
 And I know that you can explain how much you changed
 But it remains the same
 It's just to late for us, it's just to late for us
 There's no way to get back
 All the love that we had
 But I still can't help but wish that
 I'm wishing, I wish you would have gave me the flowers
 (When I could smell them)
 And I'm wishing, I wish you would have held me for hours
 (When I was around)
 Now there's nothing you can do
 (And there's nothing you can do about it)
 But to wish I was with you
 (But to think about it)
 But it's too little, too late, too late, too late
 Press rewind to go back in time
 So there's nothing you can do
 'Cause I'm no longer missing you
 You should have gave me the flowers
 (When I could smell them, hey, hey, hey, hey)
 I'm wishing, I wish you would have gave me the flowers
 (When I could smell them)
 And I'm wishing, I wish you would have held me for hours
 (When I was around)
 Now there's nothing you can do
 (Nothing you can do)
 But to wish I was with you
 (But to wish I was with you)
 But it's too little, too late, too late, too late
 Press rewind to go back in time
 So there's nothing you can do
 'Cause I'm no longer missing you
 You should have gave me the flowers
 (When I could smell them)
 'Cause now I'm gone
