Flowers

Holding back tears

Trying to be tough

Supposed to be the adhd, care free, funny one

I ask what you were like at my age

And it always makes me feel much better

I grow more into myself

The more you tie our lives together

When I get overwhelmed

By the nagging fact this ain't forever

I'm brought back down to earth

Just by the way you've stayed centered

But love's fault lingers like smoke

So I need to know

How do you do it?

How do you keep living?

Carrying on with such a big piece missing

I'm already lost now

What would I do without

Knowing your not far if I stray off

You have an excuse though you stay so strong

I'm letting it all out

Cause you deserve your flowers now

You deserve your flowers now

Finding old photos

Watching us both grow up in our own ways

Everything I do right, you shaped

You ask me how I'm doing out here

And it's so clear i've lost sight of why I came

I can't help but feel so selfish as I navigate this stage

When life starts piling up

And I get crushed under its weight

Just hearing your voice can pull me right out of that place

But love's fault lingers like smoke

So I need to know

How do you do it?

How do you keep living?

Carrying on with such a big piece missing

I'm already lost now

What would I do without

Knowing your not far if I stray off

You have an excuse though you stay so strong

I'm letting it all out

Cause you deserve your flowers now

You deserve your flowers now
