BECAUSE OF YOU
Flor.us Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you think, do you think poorly of me?
'Cause I failed to see
You're the, you're the one I need
And I made us bleed
But now I know better
Could save this for later
Write you a letter ?
You'll be here forever

I wish you well
Because you're perfect
In every way, every day
Farewell
I wish you well
Mayday, mayday
Save us from myself, from myself
Because you're perfect
Because you're perfect
Because you're perfect
I'm so sorry for what I did
Happy endings aren't my thing
I wanna know if you happy there
I can feel your presence everywhere
I'm so sorry for what I did
Happy endings aren't my thing
I wanna know if you happy there
I can feel your presence everywhere
I wish you well
Because you're perfect
In every way, every day
Farewell
I wish you well
Mayday, mayday
Save us from myself, from myself
Because you're perfect
I'm so sorry for what I did
Happy endings aren't my thing
I wanna know if you happy there
I can feel your presence everywhere
I'm so sorry for what I did
Happy endings aren't my thing

I wanna know if you happy there
I can feel your presence everywhere
