lilies Lyrics

I was alone, withering in my depth of despair

You were alive, blooming, though the shadows stole your light

So I praised you, wanted you

Wondered how it was to be you

Cause beautiful things always shine without light

They are cherished, and wanted, and treated like gold

And somehow you saw me, and thought to behold

With broken beauty, and subtle scars untold

You helped me learn that

Even the prettiest lilies die

No matter how much love you give them

Now I'm standing alone, in this empty room

It used to be filled with memories of you

The paint on the wall isn't the only thing that's chipped

I used to be whole back in the thrill of it

Back when you gave me hope and

I wasn't left with bruises

When time didn't feel like a curse

And love's pain wasn't submersed

In the tears of my past

I hate that you're part of that

But I say let it rain

And watch you wash away

And see the light of day

I've never felt before

I'm growing without shame

Cause I learned your ways

Without the poison in your veins

Cause I had to learn

Even the prettiest lilies die

No matter how much love you give them

Even the prettiest lilies die

No matter how much love you give them

Tell me how I wasn't enough

You never deserved my bleeding love

Don't you think I've been through enough

When I said I love you, was that just enough, oh

Tell me how I wasn't enough

You never deserved my bleeding love

Don't you think I've been through enough

When I said I love you, was that just enough

For you to leave me dry

You never said goodbye

But I survived

Oh I survived

Without your light
