"sunflower" lyrics

I'm forced to take it all in stride
Flourishing outside like I'm a sunflower
Staying in the sun to past the time
I got nowhere to hide, I am a sunflower

You say you're fine and you got it
I know that you're lying, what about it?
Playing games till we can't play no more
This love, I don't want it
I'd say we tried, but we didn't
And you just hated to admit it
But a flower like me
Can't be held down no more
Born to bloom, don't you get it?

I grew in the ground
My seed was meant to sprout
Yellow with some brown
I'm a sunflower
You always put me down
So please don't stick around
I'm better without you now

I didn't know I was asking for so much
When I asked you to water me down
Water me down, water me down
Water me down but now I'm drowning
Yeah, I thought that you could water me down
Water me down, baby water me down
Water me down but now I'm drowning

It's not someone else, its myself
I owe nothing in return
It's always give and take
And they know when I need a break
And all my cells, keep me well
The sun it gives me strength

Loving you was losing me
Fresh air, it helped me breathe
Hugging you was confusing
Leaving you just set me free
My seasons in the spring
As I sit here in my field
I don't need your bee sting
Unconditional love is my shield

I grew in the ground
My seed was meant to sprout
Yellow with some brown
I'm a sunflower
You always put me down
So please don't stick around
I'm better without you now

And I didn't know I was asking for so much
When I asked you to water me down
Water me down, water me down
Water me down, now I'm drowning
Yeah, I thought that you could water me down
Water me down, baby water me down
Water me down but now I'm drowning

Yeah, I thought you would
I thought you would
I thought you would
