Flowers

Intro]

Yeah…

I buried this for real…

Ain’t no coming back from this

---

I gave you love straight from my chest

You gave me stress, I gave my best

Tried to see the good in who you be

But you kept hiding who I needed to see

You played your role, controlled the pace

Had me losing me just to keep your place

I called it love, you called it space

But every time, you changed your face

---

I should’ve seen it, I ain’t lie

All them red flags, I let ‘em slide

Took you back when I knew the truth

Now I’m done choosing you over me

---

I had a funeral for me and you

Buried the love, the lies, the truth

Put flowers on what we used to be

Now you just a memory

And if I’m honest, that’s the pain

Taking you back won’t happen again

‘Cause loving you cost too much of me

And I won’t forgive myself if I repeat

---

You wasn’t real, you wore a mask

Gave you my future, you made it my past

Tried to lead with love, you led with control

Had me second-guessing my own soul

You pull me in, then push away

Kept me stuck in your little games

But I see it clear, I’m wide awake

And I’m done with every move you make

---

No more chances, no more tries

I see the truth behind your eyes

You lost me once, that’s where it ends

I won’t go through that again

---

I had a funeral for me and you

Buried the love, the lies, the truth

Put flowers on what we used to be

Now you just a memory

And if I’m honest, that’s the pain

Taking you back won’t happen again

‘Cause loving you cost too much of me

And I won’t forgive myself if I repeat

---

This ain’t anger, this release

I’m choosing me, I’m choosing peace

You had your chance, I gave you all

But I won’t answer if you call

I learned the hard way what love ain’t

Now I move smarter, I move with faith

You taught me what I’ll never accept

That’s the only thing I kept

---

Yeah…

Rest in peace to what we was

And I mean that… for real
