With Flowers Lyrics

What if I lied

When I told you I wanted to

Tell you I tried

When I know you don't care

Why should I hide from the darkness

That haunted you

Temper your pride

With the weight of the air

You rarely see me with flowers in my hair

And I barely see you at all

Was I too free with the hours that I share

Now you don't answer at all

What is enough

To escape from the atrophy

Call it a bluff

When we wait for the bell

Said you're in love

But you don't want the rest of me

Callous and tough

But I know you mean well

I will be waiting with flowers in my hair

That will be all that I own

This hesitating

It's more than I can bear

And I will be waiting alone

Alone

I will be, I will be

Heavy as a stone

And I will be waiting alone

Alone

Your heart is, your heart is

Always for mine

This part is what I am leaving behind

Feed the machine

Like you think that it matters

What have you seen

Since the day you were young

You had a dream

But it's hope that gets shattered

Say what you mean

When you think that we're done

And I will be waiting

With flowers in my hair

And I will see you again

Quietly aching

In wonder and despair

Choke on the dust in the wind

I almost remember a life that I dreamed

We are the sum of

I always hoped we were more than we seem

We are the sum of such pitiful dreams
