Keep These Flowers

[Verse 1]
Red long-stem roses
'Cause that's her favorite kind
The shop's on the corner
But I'd never stepped a foot inside
'Til last weekend
We had an all night come to Jesus
That's when she said
She was thinkin' 'bout leavin'

[Chorus]
Why's it take one foot out the door to see what I should've been fightin' for?
Why's it take a white flag in the kitchen to finally shut up and just listen?
I know it's a long shot tryin' to get the goodbye out of her eyes
Or maybe we'll survive
If I can keep these flowеrs alive

[Verse 2]
I'll pay more attention
Ain't pеrfect but I'm learnin'
And I ain't afraid to get my heart and my hands a little dirty
'Cause I don't want the red in these petals
To turn to your right foot down on the pedal

[Chorus]
Why's it take one foot out the door to see what I should've been fightin' for?
Why's it take a white flag in the kitchen to finally shut up and just listen?
I know it's a long shot tryin' to get the goodbye out of her eyes
Or maybe we'll survive
If I can keep these flowers alive
Oh, keep these flowers

[Bridge]
Reasons to leave, you got at least a dozen
But I'm beggin' you to stay and that's gotta count for something

[Chorus]
Why's it take one foot out the door to see what I should've been fightin' for?
Why's it take a white flag in the kitchen to finally shut up and just listen?
I know it's a long shot tryin' to get the goodbye out of her eyes
Or maybe we'll survive
If I can keep these flowers alive
Oh, alive
If I can keep these flowers alive
