Flowers

Lyrics

Took me over to your house to meet your family
 Introduced me to them sayin' that you'd marry me
 Then you'd look me in the eye and say, "It's just a joke"
 Then you'd kiss me, and I'd smile, did you even know?
 When you'd say that kinda thing, I'd be excited
 Got me hopin' maybe one day you would mean it
 Always thought I'd only make a fool of someone else
 Now you've only gone and made me make one of myself
 ♪
 I guess the flowers aren't just used for big apologies
 I guess I should've been more conscious how you spoke to me
 'Cause when we fight, you'd give me space, and not communicate
 And for a while, I thought that's what I should appreciate
 Maybe I was holdin' on to what I thought you were
 But when you think too hard eventually, it starts to hurt
 The version of you in my head, now I know, wasn't true
 Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you
 ♪
 I was gettin' any flight, so we could make it work
 You'd ignore me, could've told me you were seeing her
 Kinda hate myself for justifying your mistakes
 Took a minute, but I learned that shit the hard way
 Who are you to tell me I can't be heartbroken?
 Babe, you had the chance, the door for you was open
 If it's what you need to tell yourself to sleep at night
 Pretend I haven't found a man who finally treats me right
 I guess the flowers aren't just used for big apologies
 I guess I should've been more cautious how you spoke to me
 'Cause when we fight, you'd give me space, and not communicate
 And for a while I thought that's what I should appreciate
 Maybe I was holdin' on to what I thought you were
 But when you think too hard, eventually, it starts to hurt
 The version of you in my head, now I know wasn't true
 Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you
 ♪
 If there's anything I've learned, it's you should watch yourself
 If it's hurting you, then leave and go and get some help
