Flowers

Took me over to your house to meet your family

Introduced me to them saying 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 hoping 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'd fight, you'd give me space and not communicate

And for a while, I thought that's what I should appreciate

Maybe I was holding 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 getting 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

Too committed, 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 conscious how you spoke to me

'Cause when we'd fight, you'd give me space and not communicate

And for a while, I thought that's what I should appreciate

Maybe I was holding 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
