Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A sign of time
I lost my life, forgot to die
Like any man, a frightened guy
I'm keeping memories inside
A wooden glove
[Verse 2]
But I know
I'm more than sad and more today
I'm eating words too hard to say
A single tear and I'm away
Away and gone
[Verse 3]
I need you
So far from Hell, so far from you
'Cause Heaven's hard and black and grey
You're just a someone gone away
You never said goodbye
[Verse 4]
Why, lover, why?
Why do flowers die?
Why, lover, why?
[Verse 5]
Why, lover, why?
Why do flowers die?
Why, lover, why?
[Verse 6]
Every time I hear your voice
You heard my name
You built the fire, wet the flame
I swim for life, can't take the rain
No turning back
[Verse 7]
I need you
So far from Hell, so far from you
'Cause Heaven's hard and black and grey
You're just a someone gone away
You never said goodbye
[Verse 8]
Why, lover, why?
Why do flowers die?
Why, lover, why?
[Verse 9]
Why, lover, why?
Why do flowers die?
Why, lover, why?
[Verse 10]
Why, lover, why?
Why do flowers die?
Why, lover, why?
