I find that every time somebody leaves
It does not get any easier
I'll memorize the lines on your face as you go
I'll seem fine on the exterior
The touch of your hands
Sound of your voice
You know you have a choice
You don't have to leave me void of
The smell of your cologne
One by one, they all go by
The petals on a rose
Leave me till I'm all alone
I'll sit by myself in a bed of flowers
Waiting for them to rot
They'll soon want to leave me too
When they find out what I'm not
I'll smell the flowers while they're here
Just to know one day they'll disappear
Just as everything eventually does
I'll miss you, my love
It's hard to cherish the flowers
When you know they'll rot in time
It's hard to want to love
When I know they won't always be mine
I'll memorize your face as you go
Saying goodbye hurt me more than you know
There's tears in my wine
From all the time I've spent missing you
Why can't you always be mine
I'll sit by myself in a bed of flowers
Waiting for them to rot
They'll soon want to leave me too
When they find out what I'm not
I'll smell the flowers while they're here
Just to know one day they'll disappear
Just as everything eventually does
I'll miss you, my love
I'll sit by myself in a bed of flowers
Waiting for them to rot
They'll soon want to leave me too
When they find out what I'm not
I'll smell the flowers while they're here
Just to know one day they'll disappear
And maybe one day they'll learn to stay
With me for all time while we slowly decay
Would you ever want to rot with me
Or is it meant to be for you to leave
Just as everything eventually does
I'll miss you, my love
