Lauren Spencer Smith - Flowers lyrics

Took me over to your house
To meet your family
Then you'd look me in the eye and say
"It's just a joke"
Then you'd kiss me and I'd smile
Did you even know?
When you'd say that kinda thing
I'd be excited
Got me hopin' maybe one day you would mean it
Always thought I'd only make a
Fool of someone else
Now you've only gone and made
Me make one of myself

I guess that flowers aren't just
Used for big apologies
I guess I should've been more conscious
How you spoke to me 'Cause when we'd fight
You give me space and not communicate
And for a while
I thought that's what I should appreciate
Maybe I was holdin' on to
What I thought you were
But when you think too hard, eventually
It starts to hurt
The version of you in my head
Now I know wasn't true
Young people fall for the wrong people
Guess my one was you

I was gettin' any flight so
We could make it work you'd ignore me
Coulda told me you were seein' her
Kinda hate myself for
Justifyin' your mistakes took a minute
But I had to learn the hard way
Who are you to tell me
I can't be heartbroken?
Babe, you had the chance
The door for you was open
If it's what you need to tell
Yourself to sleep at night
Pretend I haven't found a man
Who finally treats me right

I guess that flowers aren't just
Used for big apologies
I guess I should've been more conscious
How you spoke to me 'Cause when we'd fight
You give me space and not communicate
And for a while
I thought that's what I should appreciate
Maybe I was holdin' on to
What I thought you were
But when you think too hard, eventually
It starts to hurt
The version of you in my head
Now I know wasn't true
Young people fall for the wrong people
Guess my one was you

If there's anything I've learned
It's you should watch yourself
If it's hurting you
Then leave and go and get some help
