Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A flower filled with murder
Cold in the daylight
Burning at night
[Verse 2]
She screams yet she whispers
Her bones are made of anger
[Verse 3]
How come I can't get closer?
How come I can't get closer?
[Verse 4]
She's not easy to love
Always something else to do
When comes the time to dance
I'm not thinking of romance
[Verse 5]
She loves me and I love her
I'm not sure how to please her
She loves me and I love her
I'm not sure how to reach her
How to touch her
How to touch her
[Verse 6]
Her hills reopen the wound
Like a lighting
From the clouds to the ground
My skin is wide open
My heart forever frozen
[Verse 7]
How come I can't get closer?
How come I can't get closer?
How come I can't get closer?
How come I can't get closer?
[Verse 8]
She loves me and I love her
I'm not sure how to please her
She loves me and I love her
I'm not sure how to reach her
How to touch her
How to touch her
[Verse 9]
She loves me and I love her
I'm not sure how to please her
She loves me and I love her
I'm not sure how to reach her
How to touch her
How to touch her
