Flower with Perfect Pink Petals

You won me over with your charming smile
Your soft brown hair and boyish style
Your gentle words, the way you looked at me
You made it so easy for me to believe

Love notes you wrote, the flowers you sent
Everything you did, with you, I went
But your loving ways and your tender touch
Disappeared after just one month

[Chorus]
You shut me out, turned me away
The player came and he played his game
No flashing lights, no warning bells
No apologies, or “I wish you well”
On my flower with perfect pink petals
The last one just fell

I felt so foolish I couldn’t see through your lies
How was I to know you were in disguise?
The whole time I thought you felt the way
You said you did to me every day, but…

[Chorus]

I cried myself to sleep that cold black night
You broke up with me after our first fight
I should’ve known not to trust my heart
Since boys like you love to break it apart

The pain you caused and the hurt you dealt
All those things you said but you never felt
Your selfish lies, and your hollow truths
Never again will you hurt me that way

[Chorus]

Your flashy smile, all you promised me
Blind to the con right in front of me
Your fake compliments, all your charm to see
You broke my heart then left casually
On my flower with perfect pink petals
The last one just fell…

[Chorus]
