The Beautiful Flowers

In every writer there's a reason to lie and rationalise
In every story there's a demon that dies, another survives
It was you, you gave me escape from all of this
It was you, you helped me to see the smallest things
Every time I give a piece of my soul, I lose my mind
Every time I stop to smell the roses, I get left behind
It was you, you gave me escape from all of this
It was you, you helped me to see the smallest things
Like all the beautiful flowers
And all the prettiest colours
And all the loveliest people
That I would never have known without you
The finest of places
The most peculiar faces
on all the loveliest people
That I could never have known without you
Its when I feel locked up inside my heart and my mind
It was you, you gave me escape from all of this
To all the beautiful flowers
And all the prettiest colours
And all the loveliest people
That I would never have known without you
The finest of places
The most peculiar faces
on all the loveliest people
That I could never have known without you
Its you, the one I love that keeps me from holding back
Its you, the one I love that keeps me from falling back

Call me Mr Rollercoaster Man
My Mrs. Right she left me for Mr. Ordinary
Now I've changed for the better, so please put your hands together
Introducing Mr. Level Headed Man
I've changed my mind because you're suicide
And I'm just flesh and bones and lullabies
Call me Mr. Poem Writing Man
My finger on the ground, but my mind is in the sky
I'm no captain out to sea, so please send no waves to me
And I'll reciprocate by sailing through the night
And I'll name the stars to occupy my mind
I've changed my mind because you're suicide
And I'm just flesh and bones and lullabies
And I'm just flesh and bones and lullabies

Better Off Alone

You're trying hard to fix the times
But walls exist that you're not supposed to climb
So you break them down with everything you've got
From the sweetest verses to poetic phrases
And you're not content until everythings exposed
But there are things in life you're not supposed to know
Sunshine makes a flower open
Meditation helps you breathe
Tipping makes a better lover
All the greatest things in life are free
But money makes the world go 'round
Crying can be a happy sound
These are all the things I've found
That everybody should know about
I know its harder on your own
But you will be better off alone
When you were stuck, I helped you out
You needed words, I gave you truth
You took advantage of my better nature
But what you never knew is I never needed you
I know its harder on your own
But you will be better off alone
You will be better off alone

I Know Why You Left

I know why you left and why you lied
I'll deny it but I know it deep inside
I know you left me long before you left my side
One thing that always gets me when you left is that you cried
You said there's nothing left in our lives to share, you tried, there's nothing there
You said that we both knew this would come
You said a lot of things and then some
Then you decided it was time, to do what was right and make a change
So you left and said goodbye
I know why you left and why you lied
I'll deny it but I know it deep inside
I know you left me long before you left my side
One thing that always gets me when you left is that you cried
A testimony from someone who's loved and lost, it's better not to try
Because unless they're strong enough to sweep you from your feet and also catch you, you'll break your heart and die
And you can't help growing old, but you don't have to be so cold to tell a lie
I saw you cry
I know why you left and why you lied
I'll deny it but I know it deep inside
I know you left me long before you left my side
One thing that always gets me when you left is that you cried
And now looking back at the time we said goodbye
I think I know
I think I know why
