They tell you to grow,
Feeding you and keeping you warm
Free drinks for life
They tell you you're beautiful
That the sun shines for you
That your petals are so soft
And your smell so sweet
They tell you to grow
And then they pick you
Pull you from the roots
Rip you out of the ground
Then wonder why you wilt
Wonder why you die
Wonder why you retreat into yourself

Silly little flower can't you see?
*Happy is something you just can't be
