[Verse 1]
I thought the flowers I picked for you
Would stay alive, stay alive
But the stems broke
The petals flew away
I thought my hands would twirl you around the room
But now they're at my side, at my side
Now my thought closes
There's nothing left to say

[Chorus]
Now I think about my clouded life
Smothering yours
So I give you space to breathe

[Verse 2]
I thought my 10-speed could make it through
The city streets, city streets
But the brakes broke
They threw me to the pavement
And when I woke
I felt the rush of cars
At my side, at my side
But when I looked down
The pedals rusted
My legs were numb and I say

[Chorus]
And I think about my clouded life
Smothering yours
So I give you space to breathe

[Interlude]
You threw away
You threw away
You threw away
You threw away

[Bridge]
These flowers
As torn up as my plans
Though broken
They're still inside my hand
As the wind blows
The petals fly away
Time goes on and on
And I'm still the same
