Broken Blossoms & Blooms

We ran away together from those naysayers

Escaping the criticism of the one act players

Running around, it’s close to midnight

You have to go, but please stay here

We’ll hide under blankets and set the light

We were never meant to be

You even said that to me

But I couldn't give a ****

I’ll follow you all over, darling

These are just broken blossoms & blooms

 

Young love and shattered promises

Sounds like a typical high school love story

But who could care, we sure as hell didn't

You fluttered around my head with worry

I said darling try not to hold onto that fear

Just take the freedom and run

Embrace your excitement

 

Your father asks where you've been

Finding my prints on your window

I never knew it to be

When we could never see

What we couldn't grasp with those broken blossoms

And Shattered blooms we shared together
