Cut Flowers

Lyrics

They sit in a glass by the window pane Fading slow in the August rain Once they grew in the open air Now it falls apart but we don't care

Did you think we'd last forever Did you think we'd never change Beauty fades when roots are severed Left to wither in a frame…

Cut flowers-where did we go Once alive, now losing glow Cut flowers-we won't know If we had more time to grow We bloom, we fade, we fall… Was it worth it at all

Your hands shook when you cut me free Said, "Hold onto this, remember me." But pressed between these brittle pages I can't turn back to greener ages

Did you think we'd last forever Did you think we'd never change Beauty fades when roots are severed Left to wither in a frame…

Cut flowers-where did we go Once alive, now losing glow Cut flowers-we won't know If we had more time to grow We bloom, we fade, we fall… Was it worth it at all

You gave me petals, not the roots They drank the light, but lost the truth… You said we'd never change But look-look what time can do…

Cut flowers-where did we go What was whole is breaking slow Cut flowers-we won't know If we had more time to grow We bloom, we fade, we fall… Was it worth it at all
