Flowers And You Lyrics - Touche Amore

I'm heartsick and well rehearsed 

Highly decorated with a badge that reads "It could be worse" 

So prideful I choose to live in disguise 

With a levee set for my heavy eyes 

I apologize for the grief 

When you'd refuse to eat 

I didn't know just what to say 

While watching you wither awayI'm homesick and living in the past 

Seemingly unfazed and strong if anyone asks 

I'm keeping up appereances with white lies 

With a levee set for my heavy eyes 

I apologize for the grief 

When you'd talk about belief 

I didn't know just what to say 

While watching you wither away 

It was time this whole time 

We can't undo or rewind 

Just a simple conversation about nothing much at all 

Couldn't keep me in the room, I just kept walking down the hall 

But now I understand just what a fool I'd been 

No matter what the context, I won't have that time again 

(and I live with that) 

I took inventory of what I took for granted 

And I ended up with more than I imagined 

I've kept it bottled up and to myself in the cellar 

Kept for my everchanging mental health
