The Good Left Undone

In fields where nothing grew but weeds

I found a flower at my feet

Bending there in my direction

I wrapped a hand around its stem

I pulled until the roots gave in

Finding now what I've been missing

But I know

So I tell myself, tell myself it's wrong

There's a point we pass from which we can't return

I felt the cold rain of the coming storm

All because of you, I haven't slept in so long

When I do, I dream of drowning in the ocean

Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down

I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out

Inside my hands, these petals browned

Dried up, falling to the ground

But it was already too late now

I pushed my fingers through the earth

Returned this flower to the dirt

So it could live, I walked away now

But I know

Not a day goes by that I don't feel its burn

There's a point we pass from which we can't return

I felt the cold rain of the coming storm

All because of you, I haven't slept in so long

When I do, I dream of drowning in the ocean

Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down

I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out

All because of you

All because of you

All because of you, I haven't slept in so long

When I do, I dream of drowning in the ocean

Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down

Inside these arms of yours

All because of you, I believe in angels

Not the kind with wings, no, not the kind with halos

The kind that bring you home when home becomes a strange place

I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out
