Withered Flowers

Woooooo
Ooooo
Oh-ooo-oh-Ooooo-woah-oh-oh
Mmm

[verse 1]
Hanging pictures in the hallway,
Memories that were long made.
Smiles and laughs,
A love meant to last,
But here I am,
Ruining everything again. 

Ooooooo

Theres moths in my chest, 
Im breathing stale air deep,
Tryna be true,
With you,
But my lips just keep turnin blue.

Ohhhhhhh-oooooo

[chorus]
Making wishes on weeds,
Dandelion fields, 
I loved you with a heart,
That never fully healed. 
Oh,
Scuffed knees and scars,
Broken at the start,
But I’ve found who I am,
Im a collection of parts.
Ooooooo
I loved you this long,
And yes our home was real,
Even if the foundation was wrong. 
But,
Now I know how to breathe when the air isn’t you. 
Ooooooo
I still love you, I do,
But…

[verse 2]
Sun bleeding in through the blinds,
Every morning feels the same.
Glass of water the first thing, 
Im biting glass for the sting.
Oh, 
Lemme feel something like before.
But now there’s rose colored windows in our home.
Theres holes in the walls I can’t ignore. 
Faulty wires I’ve never known. 

Ohhhhhhh-oooooo

[chorus]
Making wishes on weeds,
Dandelion fields, 
I loved you with a heart,
That never fully healed. 
Oh,
Scuffed knees and scars,
Broken at the start,
But I’ve found who I am,
Im a collection of parts.
Ooooooo
I loved you this long,
And yes our home was real,
Even if the foundation was wrong. 
But,
Now I know how to breathe when the air isn’t you. 
Ooooooo
I still love you, I do,
But…

[bridge]
And maybe the worst part of it all,
Is that I don’t call this place home anymore.
Im a stranger playing host,
An overlooked ghost,
I wanna move on finally,
From living quietly,
Oooooooo

From this overgrown place,
From a love like tattered lace,
Oh Im done tryna replace, 
Withered flowers in every vase…

Ohhhhhhh-oooooo

[chorus (final)]
Making wishes on weeds,
Dandelion fields, 
I loved you with a heart,
That never fully healed. 
Oh,
Scuffed knees and scars,
Broken at the start,
But I’ve found who I am,
Im a collection of parts.
Ooooooo
I loved you this long,
And yes our home was real,
Even if the foundation was wrong. 
But,
Now I know how to breathe when the air isn’t you. 
Ooooooo
I still love you, I do,
But…


[outro]

Ohhhhhhh-oooooo

A love meant to last,
But here I am
