I'm forced to take it all in stride Flourishing outside like i'm a sunflower Staying in the sun to past the time I got nowhere to hide, i am a sunflower You say you're fine and you got it I know that you're lying, what about it? Playing games till we can't play no more This love, i don't want it I'd say we tried, but we didn't And you just hated to admit it But a flower like me Can't be held down no more Born to bloom, don't you get it? I grew in the ground My seed was meant to sprout Yellow with some brown I'm a sunflower You always put me down So please don't stick around I'm better without you now I didn't know I was asking for so much When I asked you to water me down Water me down, water me down Water me down but now I'm drowning Yeah I thought that you could water me down Water me down, baby water me down Water me down but now I'm drowning Got a love right here on earth And they finally know my worth It's not someone else, its myself I owe nothing in return It's always give and take And they know when I need a break And all my cells, keep me well The sun it gives me strength Loving you was losing me Fresh air, it helped me breathe Hugging you was confusing Leaving you just set me free My seasons in the spring As I sit here in my field I don't need your bee sting Unconditional love is my shield I grew in the ground My seed was meant to sprout Yellow with some brown I'm a sunflower You always put me down So please don't stick around I'm better without you now And I didn't know I was asking for so much When I asked you to water me down Water me down, water me down Water me down, now I'm drowning Yeah I thought that you could water me down Water me down, baby water me down Water me down but now I'm drowning Yeah I thought you would I thought you would I thought you would
