Burning Flower

Freeze and let's rewind it
To a time when love was in the air
Oh the sweet scent of a love
That would prevail was there
But then, the seasons changed
To remind me that I'm not invincible
When you left me without a chance to watch it grow

For all the dreams that died, do you accept the charges?
I took the fall so you could have it your way

You planted here a seed and we began to bloom
But we weren't in season, so we cut our roots too soon
And as I watch us wilt, counting down our final hour
I think of ways that I could have saved our burning flower

I spend all my time asking myself
Where did I go wrong and how can I save this?
If there's any hope I need to know right now
Oh how the stars aligned in ways I'll never see again…

I stood my ground so you could stand beside me
I could sweep you off your feet
But the ground beneath us crumbles
Everything we raised from rubbles bites the dust

I gave it time, I gave it all my loving
You gave it up because the time just wasn't right
Or so you would boldly claim, standing on all of our remains
I'm giving up because I'm tired of wondering
It's pretty clear that the sun wasn't that bright
Like our future came to show, but now I know

If the fruits of my love didn't taste sweet enough
Then you should have said that we're through
But you dragged me along, let me dig myself deep
In this hole (this hole, oh no), and now I'm doomed

For all the dreams that died, do you accept the charges?
I took the fall so you could have it your way

You planted here a seed and we began to bloom
But we weren't in season, so we cut our roots too soon
And as I watch us wilt, counting down our final hour
I think of ways that I could have saved our burning flower

You planted here a seed and now I hold it in my hand
A hand that I would give just to let it grow again
And as I watch us wilt, I can't say I understand
I may be giving up, but I did the best I can
But I did the best I can
I may be giving up, but I did the best I can...
