Lyrics

The Flowers

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Now its just a memory,

And its hard to think(hard to think about it)

Bout the love I left behind

I cant help but think(what could I have done about it)

But deep inside I know its your fault that Im not there

Once you put aside your pride, I know that you saw it so clearly

That your nearly losing your mind

Tryna rewind

Do what you did and didnt do

So Im telling you...

You should have did so much more to show you loved me

Im wishing

I wish you would have gave me The Flowers(when I could smell them)

And Im wishing

I wish you would have held me for hours(when I was around)

Now theres nothing you can do...

But to wish I was with you...

But its too little too late, to late to late

Press rewind(to go back in time)

So theres nothing you can do...

Cause Im no longer missing you...

You should have gave me The Flowers(when I could smell them)

Cause now Im gone

And baby its so hard to believe ya when you say that you promise your be better

Cause everything your saying right now, you can saying forever

You should of showed you loved me, You should have spent more time

You should have been the answers to the questions in my mind

But your here aint going no where youll never let me go

(youll never let me go)

Cause baby, I couldnt feel your love was real, you took for granted what we had

So Im telling you...

You should of did so much more to show you loved me

Im wishing

I wish you would have gave me The Flowers(when I could smell them)

And Im wishing

I wish you would have held me for hours(when I was around)

Now theres nothing you can do...

But to wish I was with you...

But its too little too late, to late to late

Press rewind(to go back in time)

So theres nothing you can do...

Cause Im no longer missing you...

You should have gave me The Flowers(when I could smell them)

Cause now Im gone

And it hurts so much inside for me to let you go(let you go yea)

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

Its just to late for us...(its just to late for us)

Theres no way to get back

All the love that we had......

But I still cant help but wish that.....

Im wishing

I wish you would have gave me The Flowers(when I could smell them)

And Im wishing

I wish you would have held me for hours(when I was around)

Now theres nothing you can do(and theres nothing you can do about it)

But to wish I was with you (but to think about it)

But its too little too late, to late to late

Press rewind(to go back in time)

So theres nothing you can do...(No)

Cause Im no longer missing you...

You should have gave me The Flowers(when I could smell them)

(Hey Hey Hey Hey)

Im wishing

I wish you would have gave me The Flowers(when I could smell them)

And Im wishing

I wish you would have held me for hours(when I was around)

Now theres nothing you can do...(Nothing You Can Do)

But to wish I was with you...(But To Wish I Was With You)

But its too little too late, to late to late

Press rewind(to go back in time) (Said Its To Late)

So theres nothing you can do...

Cause Im no longer missing you...

You should have gave me The Flowers(when I could smell them)

MhmmmmmnnOhhhh

Cause Now Im Gone!!!
