The song explores the idea that the singer is in love with a girl yet the effect he has on her is negative. He struggles to cope with wanting her yet realizing that she would be better off without him.
Trying to keep my head screwed on
I promise if I bite my tongue, I'll never say anything that'll hurt you
When I knock on your front door
So many things to be happy for
So why can't I smile like you?
You deserve someone who makes you laugh
Someone who makes you cry
Someone who puts tears back in your eyes
You mean more to me than anything
But sometimes I can't help but think
If you're a daffodil, maybe I am making you wither
Yellow petals in the summertime
I know you want some piece of mind
But if you're a daffodil, maybe I am the snow and the winter
Am I falling out of touch?
Or not trying hard enough?
Every time you're sad, it kills me too
I just want to hold your hand
But I can't help feel thorns in the palms of everyone I love
You deserve someone who makes you smile
Someone who's in your dreams
Someone who just won't pack up and leave
You mean more to me than anything
But sometimes I can't help but think
If you're a daffodil, maybe I am making you wither
Yellow petals in the summertime
I know you want some piece of mind
But if you're a daffodil, maybe I am the snow and the winter
Run my fingers through your hair
Watch you sleep right through my hands
I feel nothing lying there
If only you could understand
'Cause I'm falling apart no matter how hard you hold me
Please, let me go
You'd be better without me
Please, let me go
You'd be better without me
Please, let me go
You'd be better without me
You mean more to me than anything
But sometimes I can't help but think
If you're a daffodil, maybe I am making you wither
Yellow petals in the summertime
I know you want some piece of mind
But if you're a daffodil, maybe I am the snow and the winter
But if you're a daffodil, maybe I am the snow and the winter
The snow and the winter
The snow and the winter
