Picking Petals
Tried picking petals off of daisies one by one
Collectively
cause they might as well know better than me
Well surprise, surprise
I took a second guess as every one said,
Yes
But little did they know how he really felt inside
Or else those pretty little flowers just
Really knew how to lie
To lie
To lie
If I sing you this song tonight
Will you recognize its for you?
As Im singing this song tonight
Do you recognize its for you?
The sun was blazing through the velvet sky
Beneath I wondered why
He wasnt there with me to pass the time
Well instead I had a couple flower friends
Beside me their old stems
Barren and sole
Im just like one of them
On the ground wishing I could be
Full of life again
Again
Again
If I sing you this song tonight
Will you recognize its for you?
As Im singing this song tonight
Do you recognize its for you?
And for what youve put me through.
Spent every day in the feverish
Heat of July
Seeking all the answers
Every bit of advice
A petal at a time
When Id rather pay attention
To a summer sunburn
Than to think about you and just
How much it hurts
To try and make it work
Now.
If I sing you this song tonight
Will you recognize its for you?
As Im singing this song tonight
Do you even recognize that its for you?
And for what youve put me through
What youve put me through
Just what youve put me through
What youve put me through.
