Flowers (feat. Caleb Christopher Edwards) [Rework]

Maybe you’ll be waiting at my door with flowers in your hand

Saying I don’t blame you if you never understand

But you live unaware of all the scars that tell you how to act

So I’m scripting conversations in my dreams I know we’ll never have

You look in the mirror and don’t know how to love what you see

The burden of your perception was never meant to fall on me

It’s hard to love anyone when you’re wallowing in self-pity

But I thought that to love you was condition-less long-suffering

You’re standing right in front of me with ashes smudged across your cheeks

Your lips speak no apologies

I don’t know how to be okay with things that really aren’t okay

And pardon needs someone to blame

But still gives itself away

I plant my own flowers I water and sun my seeds each day

Wasted so much time waiting for you to bring me a bouquet

The longer I hold on to you the more I want to run away

So I grow my own flowers and then pick them to lay at your grave

You’re standing right in front of me with ashes smudged across your cheeks

Your lips speak no apologies

I don’t know how to be okay with things that really aren’t okay

And pardon needs someone to blame

But still gives itself away

Maybe you’ll be waiting at my door with flowers in your hand

Saying I don’t blame you if you never understand

The longer I hold on to you the more I want to run away

So I grow my own flowers and then pick them to lay at your grave
