Picked First

Took the first flight I could get home

Checked into the front desk

Walked up to your floor

Shared a couple bites of cheesecake

Talked about the summers

We spent on your porch

You were trying not to cry for me

I was trying not to cry for you

Yeah, you really really were the best

But you left way too soon

Oh dear, I miss you all the time

I wish we never said goodbye

Like daisies in the dirt

The most beautiful flowers always get picked first

We were sitting in the silence

Listening to voices over the TV

I was staring out the window

Holding onto your hand didn’t want to leave

You were trying not to cry for me

And I was trying not to cry for you

Yeah, you really really were the best

But you left way too soon

Oh dear, I miss you all the time

I wish we never said goodbye

Like daisies in the dirt

The most beautiful flowers always get picked first

Oh dear, you left me way too fast

I wish they saved the best for last

Like daisies in the dirt

The most beautiful flowers always get picked first

You were trying not to cry for me

And I was trying not to cry for you
