Flowers
Lauren Spencer-Smith Lyrics

Took me over to your house to meet your family
You brought me over to meet your family

Introduce me to them, saying that you'd marry me
You introduced me to your family as the person you would marry

Then you'd look me in the eye and say, "It's just a joke"
You looked me in the eye and claimed it was all a joke

Then you'd kiss me and I'd smile, did you even know?
You kissed me, and I smiled, but did you realize that you were leading me on?

When you'd say that kinda thing, I'd be excited
I would feel thrilled when you said things like that

Got me hoping maybe one day you would mean it
I hoped that one day, you would truly mean what you said

Always thought I'd only make a fool of someone else
I always thought that I would be the one to hurt someone else's feelings

Now you've only gone and made me make one of myself
But now I realize that you were the one who made me feel foolish

I guess that flowers aren't just used for big apologies
I realize that flowers aren't only given to say I'm sorry

I guess I should've been more conscious how you spoke to me
I should have been more aware of how you talked to me

'Cause when we'd fight, you'd give me space and not communicate
When we argued, you would ignore me and not talk to me

And for a while I thought that's what I should appreciate
For a while, I thought that was a good thing and that I should be grateful

Maybe I was holding onto what I thought you were
Perhaps I was clinging to an image of you that I had created in my mind

But when you think too hard, eventually it starts to hurt
But when you dwell on something too much, it becomes painful

The version of you in my head, now I know wasn't true
I see that the image of you that I had created in my mind was not an accurate representation of who you really are

Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you
I was young and naive, and unfortunately, I fell for the wrong person, and that person was you

I was getting any flight so we could make it work
I was willing to take any flight just to make our relationship work

You'd ignore me, coulda told me you were seeing her
But you ignored me and didn't tell me that you were seeing someone else

Kinda hate myself for justifying your mistakes
I feel some self-loathing for justifying your actions and behavior

Took a minute but I learned that shit the hard way
It took me a while, but I learned the hard way

Who are you to tell me I can't be heartbroken?
How dare you say that I can't be heartbroken?

Babe, you had the chance, the door for you was open
You had the opportunity, and the door was open for you

If it's what you need to tell yourself to sleep at night
If that's what you need to justify your actions and sleep at night

Pretend I haven't found a man who finally treats me right
Then pretend I haven't found someone who finally treats me well

If there's anything I've learned, it's you should watch yourself
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you should be careful with how you treat people

If it's hurting you, then leave and go and get some help
If something is causing you pain, then leave and seek help to resolve it
