Pretty Flowers

Running in the wrong direction
Hanging on the other side
Scared of my own reflection
Looking for a place to hide

I've got no answers in my pockets
Just questions in my palms
Distance in your eyes
Sadness in your song

Tell me that you want them pretty flowers
Tell me I should quit the cocaine
I promise we could lay in bed for hours
I promise that I'll never have to promise again
Tell me, my dear
Tell me that you want them pretty flowers
Tell me what I need to hear

Baby I can see you hurting
I can see right through that smile
I know that behind the curtain
There's tears on the kitchen tile
And I'm knocking at your door now
Ready for what I deserve
Hungry for your heart
And I'm thirsty for your words

Tell me that you want them pretty flowers
Tell me I should quit that cocaine
I promise we could lay in bed for hours
I promise that I'll never have to promise again
Tell me, my dear
Tell me that you want them pretty flowers
Tell me what I need to hear

Only you could be so patient
How could I have been this blind
You always keep my heartbeat racing
Every time

Just tell me that you want them pretty flowers
Tell me I should quit that cocaine
I promise we could lay in bed for hours
I promise that I'll never have to promise again
Tell me, my dear
Tell me that you want them pretty flowers
Tell me what I need to hear
Tell me that you want them pretty flowers
Tell me what I need to hear
Oh just, tell me that you want them pretty flowers
Tell me what I need to hear
