Wildflowers

I still remember what you looked like

Back when I met you on that first night

I didn't know you but you smelled so sweet, made my knees go weak for the first time

But then you came around to stay

You started pushing at me further every day

And lately all my friends will only come around when you're away

And that just doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel right, no

My darling, the longer you bloom

The further I'm lost to your roots

It's drained me of all of my air, oh

Your love is like

Wildflowers sitting in the garden

Overgrown and creeping through the darkness

My my, this isn't how it started

I don't understand your ways

Wildflowers sitting in the garden

All alone just waiting to be wanted

My my, this isn't how it started

I don't understand your ways

Admit that something doesn't feel right

Ain't premonition, this is real life

You got me sitting at a green light, stopped with my hands held up, is this real life?

This ain't the first it's ever been

You sit and watch me waste away to pay the rent

And I've been smoking every day to find the strength to hold it in

But this just doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel right, nah

So what you gonna do

When I remove you from the roots?

So you'll never grow back

(Please don't apologise, babe)

Your love is like

Wildflowers sitting in the garden

Overgrown and creeping through the darkness

My my, this isn't how it started

I don't understand your ways

Wildflowers sitting in the garden

All alone just waiting to be wanted

My my, this isn't how it started

I don't understand your ways

I tried to keep it all working

But nothing I did, was ever good enough to be worth it

And I don't wanna live like this
