Daffodil
Florence the Machine Lyrics

I couldn't have it, yes, I let it get in
I was not able to get over my past and it started affecting me

The helpless hope to missing of spring
I was longing for something that was already gone and could not be brought back

Worn out and tired and my heart never tired
Even when I was tired, emotionally drained, my heart was still beating with pain and grief

And the world's bent doubled from weeping
The world seemed to be crying along with me, in sorrow and grief

And yet, the birds begin to sing
Despite everything, nature goes on and brings a sense of hope and renewal

Daffodil, daffodil
The flower serves as a symbol of hope and renewal

I'm not bad, I'm not good
I am neither good nor bad, just existing and trying to make sense of it all

I drank every scar that I could
I embraced my pain and heartache, acknowledging that it was a part of me

Made myself mythical, tried to be real
I tried to create a version of myself that was more than human but ultimately realized that it was not possible

Saw the future in the face of a
I looked towards the future, seeking hope and possibility, and found it in the beauty of nature

Daffodil, daffodil
The flower serves as a symbol of hope and renewal

You practice resurrection every night
I try to bring back what is lost and make it alive again in my dreams

Raising the dead under the moonlight
I try to bring back what is gone, trying to hold on to a past that is no longer possible

In the gloaming night, start to cry
In the dark of the night, I allow myself to feel and express my grief

You're a perfect pearl out in the sky
I try to find beauty and hope even in the midst of my pain and sorrow, just like the moon shining in the night sky

There is no bad, there is no good
Life is neither good nor bad, it just exists and it is up to us to make sense of it

I drank all the blood that I could
I embraced the pain and heartache of life, knowing that it was a part of what it means to be alive

English sun, she has come
The sun, a symbol of hope and light, has returned to bring me a sense of renewal and possibility

To kiss my face and tell me I'm that chosen one
The sun reminds me that I am not alone, that I am chosen and worthy of hope and renewal

A generation soaked in grief
We are a generation that has experienced great pain and heartache, but we are not alone in this experience

We're drying out and hanging on by the skin of our teeth
We are trying to hold on to hope and renewal, but it is a struggle and we are barely hanging on

I never thought it would get this far
I never imagined that my pain and heartache would last this long or affect me so deeply

This somewhat drunken joke
Life can sometimes feel like a joke or a dream, something that is not quite real

Sometimes I see so much beauty
Despite the pain, I can still find beauty in the world and in my experiences

I don't think that I can cope
Sometimes the grief and pain feel overwhelming and I do not know how to handle or deal with them

Daffodil, daffodil
The flower serves as a symbol of hope and renewal, a reminder that life goes on and beauty can be found even in the midst of pain and heartache
