I thought the flowers I picked for you Would stay alive, stay alive But the stems broke, the petals flew away I thought my hands would twirl you around the room But now they're at my side, at my side Now my throat closed, there's nothing left to say Now I think about my cluttered life smothering yours So I'll give you space to breathe I thought my ten speed could make it through The city streets, city streets But the brakes broke, they threw me to the pavement And when I woke I felt the rush of cars At my side, at my side But when I looked down the pedals rusted My legs were numb and I said I think about my cluttered life smothering yours So I'll give you space to breathe These flowers As torn up as my plans They're broken They're still inside my hands As the wind blows The petals fly away Time goes on and on And I'm still the same
