Picking Petals Lyrics - Singles - Aubrey Wood

Picking Petals 

Lyrics and Music by Aubrey Wood 

Tried picking petals off of daisies one by one 

Collectively 

cause they might as well know better than me 

Well surprise, surprise 

I took a second guess as every one said, 

Yes 

But little did they know how he really felt inside 

Or else those pretty little flowers just 

Really knew how to lie 

To lie 

To lie 

If I sing you this song tonight 

Will you recognize its for you? 

As Im singing this song tonight 

Do you recognize its for you? 

The sun was blazing through the velvet sky 

Beneath I wondered why 

He wasnt there with me to pass the time 

Well instead I had a couple flower friends 

Beside me their old stems 

Barren and sole 

Im just like one of them 

On the ground wishing I could be 

Full of life again 

Again 

Again 

If I sing you this song tonight 

Will you recognize its for you? 

As Im singing this song tonight 

Do you recognize its for you? 

And for what youve put me through. 

Spent every day in the feverish 

Heat of July 

Seeking all the answers 

Every bit of advice 

A petal at a time 

When Id rather pay attention 

To a summer sunburn 

Than to think about you and just 

How much it hurts 

To try and make it work 

Now. 

If I sing you this song tonight 

Will you recognize its for you? 

As Im singing this song tonight 

Do you even recognize that its for you? 

And for what youve put me through 

What youve put me through 

Just what youve put me through 

What youve put me through.
