"Picked First" lyrics

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

And you were trying not to cry for me
And I was trying not to cry for you
Yeah, you really, really were the best
But you left way too soon

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

We were sitting in the silence
Listening to voices over the TV
I was staring out the window
Holding onto your hand didn't want to leave

And you were trying not to cry for me
And I was trying not to cry for you
Yeah, you really, really were the best
But you left way too soon

Oh, dear, I miss you all the time
I wish we 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

You were trying not to cry for me
And I was trying not to cry for you
