Daisy
Rosie Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now it′s just melancholy, for breakfast
I've been watering my daisies
But they want to be uprooted soon
We look better than ever and we pretend
To care for each other
But you said the scars on my arms
Would get better
You meant so much to me

You meant so much to me
You held a significant place in my heart and life.
And now it′s just melancholy, for breakfast
Now, I only wake up to sadness and gloominess.
I've been watering my daisies
I have been taking care of myself and my personal growth.
But they want to be uprooted soon
But now, I feel the need to change, grow, and move on.
We look better than ever and we pretend
On the outside, we seem to be doing well and happy, but in reality, we're just pretending.
To care for each other
To show affection and concern for one another as friends or partners.
But you said the scars on my arms
But you promised me that the physical and emotional scars I had would heal.
Would get better
Would improve and disappear with time and support.
And now they′re just multiplying
But unfortunately, the scars are not healing, and they're only getting worse and more numerous.
