"flowers" lyrics

"flowers"

I have been shot down
Dust on my crown
While the whole world sat and watched me
I have bit my tongue
When I should have won
Look what being honest got me
And I've always known
People don't always show
Thanks for what they have been offered
But I know my worth
Even when it hurts
I will keep on standing tall

'Cause I made a home on the mountain you said I couldn't climb
I'm getting closer and closer with every line
Am I the only one scared that we'll run out of time for my flowers?
Give me flowers

Know that I've been tested
Know that I've been blessed with
All that money can and can't buy
I get no rest, but rest assured
I will keep on standing tall

'Cause I made a home on the mountain you said I couldn't climb
I'm getting closer and closer with every line
Am I the only one scared that we'll run out of time for my flowers?
Give me flowers

Give me flowers
Give me faith
That I didn't bleed in vain

Flowers
Flowers

I made a home on the mountain you said I couldn't climb
Watered my dreams in the dark to watch them die in the light
Am I the only one scared that we'll run out of time for my flowers?
Give me flowers

Earned my flowers
Give me flowers
