[Verse 1]
You left petals on my floor
Like proof you were here before
Now the vase is cracked in two
Still I reach for what we knew
My hands shake in the cold sink light
I rinse your name out of my mind
But it blooms in the seam of night
And it cuts when I close my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you won't fade away
Say it right to my face
If I let go now
What stays?
[Chorus]
Broken flowers, broken flowers
You still grow in me
Broken flowers, broken flowers
Make a bruise look sweet
If this is over
Why do you still
Bloom in me?
[Broke. Flowers?]
[Verse 2]
I kept the stems in a jar
On the shelf by the alarm
Every leaf went brown and thin
Still your shadow lived in them
Now the room feels way too wide
Like your voice just left behind
And the silence on my skin
Is the loudest kind of lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you won't fade away
Say it right to my face
If I let go now
What stays?
[Chorus]
Broken flowers, broken flowers
You still grow in me
Broken flowers, broken flowers
Make a bruise look sweet
If this is over
Why do you still
Bloom in me?
[Bridge]
I tried to bury the hurt
In the dirt, in the dark
But the root keeps pulling back
Through the cracks in my heart
And every color turns to smoke
Every promise bends and folds
Still I hold what you let go
Like a thorn I can't unload
[Final Chorus]
Broken flowers, broken flowers
You still grow in me
Broken flowers, broken flowers
Make a bruise look sweet
If this is over
Why do you still
Bloom in me?
Broken flowers, broken flowers
I can't set you free
Broken flowers, broken flowers
You live inside of me
If this is over
Why do you still
Bloom in me?
