[Verse 1]
Took the first flight I could get home
Checked in to the front desk
Walked up to your floor
Shared a couple bites of cheesecake
Talked about the summers
We spent on your porch

[Pre-Chorus]
And you were tryin' not to cry for me
And I was tryin' not to cry for you
Yeah, you really, really were the best
But you left way too soon

[Chorus]
Oh, dear, I miss you all the time
I wish we'd never said goodbye
Like daisies in the dirt
The most beautiful flowers
Always get picked first

[Verse 2]
We were sittin' in the silence
Listenin' to voices over the TV
I was starin' out the window
Holdin' on to your hand
Didn't wanna leave
[Pre-Chorus]
You were tryin' not to cry for me (You were tryin' not to cry for me)
And I was tryin' not to cry for you (I was tryin' not to cry for you)
Yeah, you really, really were the best
But you left way too soon

[Chorus]
Oh, dear, I miss you all the time
I wish we'd never said goodbye
Like daisies in the dirt
The most beautiful flowers
Always get picked first
Oh, dear, you left me way too fast
I wish they saved the best for last
Like daisies in the dirt
The most beautiful flowers
Always get picked first

[Outro]
You were tryin' not to cry for me (You were tryin' not to cry for me), mm
And I was tryin' not to cry for you (I was tryin' not to cry for you)
