I flip a coin, I flip a coin
Heads or tails? You crack a smile
What will it take for you to join
What would it take to make it worthwhile

You give a glance that says another time
But I’m reckless and impatient, I’m bound to do wrong
Why does loving you seem so much like a crime
I remain silent as you drag us along

Maybe it was a mistake
Or just maybe it is what was needed
For you, I could never forsake
And our feelings have been pleaded

Before you go tell me once more
Is there a future with us
Is there a version where my heart is not tore
I kiss you before you get on the bus

The months that I followed, I couldn’t shake the tears in my eyes
I guess you couldn’t either, so you called
The truth gets hard, sometimes it’s easier to tell lies
But you said you were coming back, right after the fall

It seemed like we were finally ready to make something out of this misery
We had all our hopes and dreams, but we never got far
That life will always remain a mystery
All that’s left is a one-page obituary, form an overdose is your car

The sun will shine on my face
The wind will blow at my back
I shall lose these feelings of disgrace
And thus, my anger will fade to black

No more shall I be tied down
The road is there, but I built the bridge
It’s time to leave this town
Head out far from the ridge

There’s a calmness between the road and I
An understanding of life
It helps me forget seeing you cry
Knowing I was the one that struck your heart with a knife

Yet here I find myself reading a letter
I’m not strong enough to mail it
So, I’ll burn it, and hope things get better
There’s no place in your life for me to fit

It’s a long drive from Jackson to Cincinnati
Just to find you’re in the Gulf Shores
So, no need to cry and get sappy
For you I would drive much more

I knew it was you, when the world looked different
I was a coward that ran away
Tried to forget, but that was me being ignorant
For you, I promise to stay

A flower can bloom many times
Each one different from the rest
Each bloom goes through its own test
Just as we have our own climbs

Strong roots will get you far
But faith and perseverance will take you farther
And lead you through when things get darker
Sonn you’ll shine brighter than a star

Thank you for being our inspiration
The seeds you planted long ago have grown
From all the love that you have shown
For when we bloom, we too shall have a good foundation

The valleys grown old and bitter, but it still has its charm
Cherry blossoms are spread like wild
The same ones I planted as a child
Back when I could do no one no harm

Rain sprinkles life into the new plants
And also leaves my footprints on the ground
Out here it’s quiet but also full of sound
I wish to go back home, but I know I can’t

The air around me feels all so familiar
There’s something pretty about a flower bloom
Like an unborn child in a mother’s womb
If only he hadn’t killed her

Why’s the grass look so strange Mama?
It’s burnt and dead
Or is it tricks inside my head
Is this the feeling of trauma?

One day I’ll find a way to run
Far from the guilt of leaving him
But I couldn’t do it, not with the world looking so dim
So, I leave my sins in the hands of my son

Wilted flowers and memories
Are all dried up and blown away
Leaving us with nothing left to say
And for this kind of pain there is no remedy

Have you any clue, how much I fell for you?
Or was I just bought on borrowed time
To think I held the world in this hand of mine
But your lies eventually slipped through

I was the plant you didn’t prune
You were the dead leaves holding me back
But now I’m back on track
New stems will sprout very soon

I played the game
It’s time for a new challenge
Was being friends too hard to balance?
Your answer always remained the same

Gone are the days
So, roll the dice, don’t think twice
No response will ever suffice
True growth is moving one, there was no other way
