Flowers and You

I'm heart sick and well rehearsed

Highly decorated with a badge that reads "It could be worse"

So prideful, I choose to live in disguise

With a levee set for my heavy eyes

I apologize for the grief

When you'd refuse to eat

I didn't know just what to say

While watching you wither away

I'm homesick and living in the past

Seemingly unfazed and strong if anyone asks

I'm keeping up appearances with white lies

With a levee set for my heavy eyes

I apologize for the grief

When you'd talk about belief

I didn't know just what to say

While watching you, wither away

It was time this whole time

It was time this whole time

It was time this whole time

We can't undo or rewind

Just a simple conversation

About nothing much at all

Couldn't keep me in the room

I just kept walking down the hall

But now I understand

Just what a fool I've been

No matter what the context

I won't have that time again

And I live with that

I took inventory of what I took for granted

And I ended up with more than I imagined

I've kept it bottled up and to myself in the cellar

Kept for my ever-changing mental health

It was time this whole time

I took inventory of what I took for granted

And I ended up with more than I imagined

It was time this whole time

I've kept it bottled up and to myself in the cellar

Kept for my ever-changing mental health
