Dead Flowers

[Verse 1]
Here comes the moment I've been worried about
They want flowers but there’s nothing coming out of the ground
I thought I'd make it through the drought
With my garden underground
But I let you down
I let you down

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I got are dying petals
Laying withered on the floor
So I got pressure, I got pressure

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me I'm doing this right
I don't wanna go waste my life
But I got dead flowers up in my basement
I got dead flowers up in my basement
So, tell me I'm doing this right
Only livin' for what thеy like
But I got dead flowers up in my basеment
I got dead flowers up in my basement

[Verse 2]
A couple months and the water's still running dry
They lost patience and I don't have an alibi
I wish they knew how hard I tried
To compensate for a lack of light
Do you hear my cry?
Do you hear my cry?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I got are dying petals
Laying withered on the floor
So I got pressure, I got pressure

[Chorus]
Oh, tell me I'm doing this right
I don't wanna go waste my life
But I got dead flowers up in my basement
I got dead flowers up in my basement
So, tell me I'm doing this right
Only livin' for what they like
But I got dead flowers up in my basement
I got dead flowers up in my basement

[Post-Chorus]
(Dead flowers up in my basement)
(Dead flowers up in my basement)

[Bridge]
I wanna make you feel happy
Sometimes it gets a little unhealthy
My flowers keep on runnin' on empty
If I'm honest, it's driving me crazy
Oh no, I should listen to my own words
Look at the sun and let my flowers grow again
These flowers can't grow in the basement
These flowers can't grow in the basement, oh no

[Chorus]
So, tell me I'm doing this right
I don't wanna go waste my life
But I got dead—
So, tell me I'm doing this right
Only livin' for what they like
But I got dead flowers up in my basement
I got dead flowers up in my basement

[Outro]
(Oh, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah)
I wanna make you feel happy
Sometimes it gets a little unhealthy
My flowers keep on runnin' on empty
Runnin' on
Runnin' on
Runnin' on
