Flower
Liv Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh
I don't know how to feel
Nobody checks for me
I feel like I do it all
Carry this weight on my own
I got some big a** dreams
S*** be scaring' me
But I feel like nobody sees
Me or my dreams
The biggest dreams I ever dreamed
Imma have it all bigger then I've ever seen
Put my focus on me
If you ain't for me
I wish you the best
On some real s***
If I said I loved you
That's some real shit
But that's the old me
Had to switch it up
Cause they cut themselves off
Leave it up to y'all to knock ya own heads off
I don't know how to feel (feel)
Nobody checks for me (me)
I feel like I do it all
Carry this weight on my own
I got some big a** dreams
S*** be scaring' me
But I feel like nobody sees
Me or my dreams
It don't get as real as me
Too many chances
That s*** is over
God told me do better
Don't you know who you are
Who cares how they feel
Just mad cause they ain't real
I'ma talk my s***
Them dead flowers been watered for too long
Ain't got no emotions
Can't really feel nothin
It's a distraction
So I let it go
Dead flowers don't grow
Can't plant seeds where flowers don't grow
That's a dead flower fasho
Hey gets lonely at the top (top, top)
Hey emotions they don't go (go, go)
Hey so I had to let em' go oh no
Gotta reach the top
Everybody can't come
Just because you start
That don't mean you with the team
I'm just keepin' it real, real, real
Oh yeah
I don't know how to feel (yeah, yeah)
Nobody checks for me (checks for me)
I feel like I do it all (I do it all)
Carry this weight on my own (weight on my own)
I got some big a** dreams (big as f*** you know)
S*** be scaring' me (I feel alone)




But I feel like nobody sees (nobody sees)
Me or my dreams (I know I'ma star baby)
