Flowers

We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can’t be sold
We were right til we weren’t
Built a home and watched it burn
 
I didn’t wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry but then remembered I
 
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than you can
 
I can love me better
I can love me better baby
Can love me better
I can love me better baby
 
Paint my nails, cherry red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said
 
I didn’t wanna wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry but then remembered I
 
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than you can
 
I can love me better
I can love me better baby
Can love me better
I can love me better baby
Can love me better
I can love me better baby
Can love me better
I
 
I didn’t wanna wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry but then remembered I
 
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than
Yeah I can love me better than you can
 
Can love me better
I can love me better baby

Think of Me

 

Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while
Please promise me you'll try 

 
When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me 

 

We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me 

 
Think of all the things
We've shared and seen
Don't think about the way
Things might have been 

 

Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind 

 
Recall those days
Look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of you 

 

Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They have their season so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think of me

 

 

The Next Right Thing

I've seen dark before, but not like this  

This is cold, this is empty, this is numb  

The life I knew is over, the lights are out  

Hello, darkness, I'm ready to succumb  

I follow you around, I always have  

But you've gone to a place I cannot find  

This grief has a gravity, it pulls me down  

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind  

You are lost, hope is gone  

But you must go on 

And do the next right thing  

Can there be a day beyond this night? 

I don't know anymore what is true 

 I can't find my direction, I'm all alone  

The only star that guided me was you  

How to rise from the floor?  

But it's not you I'm rising for  

Just do the next right thing  

Take a step, step again 

It is all that I can to do  

The next right thing  

I won't look too far ahead 

 It's too much for me to take  

But break it down to this next breath, this next step  

This next choice is one that I can make  

So I'll walk through this night  

Stumbling blindly toward the light  

And do the next right thing  

And, with it done, what comes then?  

When it's clear that everything will never be the same again 

Then I'll make the choice to hear that voice and do the next right thing

My Favorite Mistake

Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake

 

Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending
When you go, all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

 

Well maybe nothing lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way

 

Did you know could you tell you were the only one
That I ever loved?
Now everything's so wrong

 

Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry?
Now you're my favorite mistake
Yeah you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
