Flowers

Took you over to my house to meet my family Introduced you to them, saying we'd get married Then I looked you in the eye and said, it's just a joke Then I kissed you and you smiled, but I should've known When I said that kinda thing, you'd be excited Had you hoping maybe one day I would mean it Always thought I'd only make a fool out of myself Now this fool has gone and made one out of somebody else You're right, the flowers shouldn't just be for apologies You're right, I shouldn't let my words fall out so carelessly I didn't choose to give you space because I needed it I was just too scared I couldn't change and even if I could never be the type of man that you deserve Kills me that I hurt you and I don't know what is worse The version of me in your head was too good to be true Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you Couldn't bring myself to tell you that it wouldn't work Sabotaged the two of us, so you would say it first You can hate me, you can blame me, I deserve it It took losing everything and now I'm learning I know my heart was closed, I hope you keep yours open And if you found someone, I hope that they can hold it All the pain I caused, it still keeps me up at night I'm hoping one day that's a person I don't recognize You're right, the flowers shouldn't just be for apologies You're right, I shouldn't let my words fall out so carelessly I didn't choose to give you space because I needed it I was just too scared I couldn't change and even if I could never be the type of man that you deserve Kills me that I hurt you and I don't know what is worse The version of me in your head was too good to be true Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you If there's anything I learned that I should watch myself Or watch the people that I love, end up with someone else
