(Song) Flower

I once saw a rose, so beautiful

i picked it up and now my finger's bleedin'

and baby, your heart's red too

so maybe this is why i shouldn't pick you?

But your eyes are blue, so maybe you're an orchid

and your hair's blonde, so maybe you're a sunflower

and my life is gray without you, so maybe you're silver mound

and my life is a rainbow when you're with me, so all i know is you're a flower

I planted you in my garden of stinging nettles disguised as flowers

i watered you everyday, but the soil wasn't fertile enough

i always save up all my garden's space for the nettles disguised as flowers

just so i can have something pretty to look at in my house

but they still sting me, and your thorns still hurt

but i don't wanna have grass when you're the most beautiful flower i've ever seen

I see the vines growing alongside the walls

i set them on fire immediately

but your presence spreads in me like a vine

so maybe you're not even a flower?

But you're short, so maybe you're a dandelion

and i'm always looking at you, so maybe i myself am a sunflower

and my garden is so dull without you

it just needs a little more life

I planted you in my garden of stinging nettles disguised as flowers

i watered you everyday, but the soil wasn't fertile enough

i always save up all my garden's space for the nettles disguised as flowers

just so i can have something pretty to look at in my house

but they still sting me, and your thorns still hurt

and i can't keep watering everything unless i stop drinking myself

I pick you up, cut my finger everytime

your thorns don't stop me, i wanna have you in my garden

and deep inside i actually know

sometimes people see the rose in me, it's beautiful

they pick it up, but my thorns push 'em right away

i've just learned to only let the honeybees near

I planted you in my garden of stinging nettles disguised as flowers

and i keep thinking i need more water, but maybe it's the roots that aren't fixed

i keep thinking i need to fill this entire garden with flowers

but maybe if i just let the soil rest, i'll be able to plant a new tree
