The Flower

You fell asleep, I let you stay the night
You asked me how I was, I said I’m fine
You know me far too well for me to lie
No really, I’ll be fine
All I need is an answer from you
Just tell me what I can do
If all is lost, tell me so
This hurts me more than you know
If I caught on to your little game
I wouldn’t love you the same
I’m putting this in the past
Still, I just can’t shake the fact
You could be loving me but no matter what I do
You’ll never see me as someone good enough for you
Right now I’m counting petals, they say you love me not
I’ll pick a different flower, give it another shot
Don’t know who you think you are to tell me how I feel
I don’t have much to offer, but all my love is real
I know your expectations, I’ll never meet them all
So I’ll keep counting petals and I’ll just watch them fall
I’ll keep on counting petals and I’ll just watch them fall, fall
I’ll let you down, don’t put your faith in me
Too much to worry bout, too much to keep
Trade assurance for insecurity
Somehow I thought you’d want me
What if we put the roles in reverse
Maybe I’d put myself first
And at the end of the day
Promise I would never change
You could be loving me but no matter what I do
You’ll never see me as someone good enough for you
Right now I’m counting petals, they say you love me not
I’ll pick a different flower, give it another shot
Don’t know who you think you are to tell me how I feel
I don’t have much to offer, but all my love is real
I know your expectations, I’ll never meet them all
So I’ll keep counting petals, and I’ll just watch them fall
I know I’m not the person that you were looking for
Don’t even know why I bother with this anymore
I’ve counted all my petals, I know you love me not
So I’ll be waiting right here if you have second thoughts
I wish I had the courage to tell you how I feel
but if I say it out loud, then that’ll make it real
So I’ll keep it to myself, I’m putting up my walls
Looks like I’ll always be playing the fool after all
You could be loving me but no matter what I do
You’ll never see me as someone good enough for you
Right now I’m counting petals, they say you love me not
I’ll pick a different flower, give it another shot
Don’t know who you think you are to tell me how I feel
I don’t have much to offer, but all my love is real
I know your expectations, I’ll never meet them all
So I’ll keep counting petals and I’ll just watch them fall
I’ll keep on counting petals and I’ll just watch them fall
