Easter Flowers

I closed my eyes and found myself inside my childhood home

It was Easter morning I was looking out my window

I saw something that scared me

Your parents walking toward me

In their Easter clothes

Oh no

I must admit I was in disbelief when your mom walked up to me

She handed me some flowers that came from April showers

She told me how you're doing

And how she thinks you blew it

And we both cried

Oh my

I always said that you didn't owe me anything

But I'm starting to think that I deserved a little more

I always said that you could up and leave

But I didn't think you'd do it at the end of the world

To a shell of a girl

I realize now that everything you said still messes with my head

Suddenly I'm older and picturing how you'd hold her

You to her to Ikea

And you shot down her ideas

And then you disappeared

Oh dear

I always said that you didn't owe me anything

But I'm starting to think that I deserved a little more

I always said that you could up and leave

But I didn't think you'd do it at the end of the world

To a shell of a girl

You didn't seem to care when my dog died

So why would you care when I started losing my mind
