"Flowers" lyrics

(You stay right here, I'll be back in 10 minutes)
(10 minutes is a long time to be away from you)

Great, we're just friends first
Don't know why we tried to become lovers
No, it wasn't right

Yeah, something was missing
It's not like we're set in stone
What's with the hostility?
And oh, this is how it goes

'Cause flowers don't grow in the winter
But they die, they die in the summer
And our love, if that's what you call it
Had no way of ever surviving

Always felt lonely
When I was by your side
Guess I've always known
Something wasn't right

Yeah, something was missing
It's not like we're set in stone
What's with the hostility?
And oh, this is how it goes

'Cause flowers don't grow in the winter
But they die, they die in the summer
And our love, if that's what you call it
Had no way of ever surviving

I'm so sorry that I couldn't be your baby
Yeah, well
I'm so sorry that I couldn't be your baby
