Dead Flowers

In this life we're tested and tainted

And only some make it through

But we see hope in this garden of eden

And I'll never give it up, no!

Sweet renee she was destined for me

We had a road to drive on

But I let her sway from the headlights

And I had to give her up

So I gave her

Dead flowers

And ran away

Dead flowers

They hit me in the wrong way

Jack and Jill, they went climbing that mountain

They went to hold hands

But by the time they had got it together

The view said to give it up

Cos they saw

Dead flowers

And ran away

Dead flowers

They hit me in the wrong way

They hit me in the wrong way

Now all these failures mean something

My lonely heart is a mess

All these lows have hardened my soul

But is there time for me yet?

To trust my mother was taken

For a cause so bright and true

Will you give me some time to mourn

With an angel like you?

All I want in my resting place

Let my roots unfurl

Well all at once I knew that I had

All at once I knew that I had hope

I'll never give up, I'll never give it up!
