Lyrics
You used to speak to me with flowers
You used to express your feelings to me through symbolic gestures, particularly with flowers.
You planted seeds beneath your tongue
You concealed meaningful intentions or emotions beneath your words, just like seeds hidden beneath the surface.
And in the language of the meadows
You communicated in the language of nature, suggesting a connection with the purity and beauty of meadows.
You'd always tell me I'm the one
You consistently assured me that I was the one you loved.
So here's a pansy for your thoughts, dear

And i hope you'll help me out here

And tell me that we could be fine

You sowed the seeds i used to tend to

Ones I'd hoped that love would fill

But what i thought were sprouts of roses

I wrote a floral dictionary

Filled with the words you used to say

I think you've blossomed in my brain

Now you won't speak to me with flowers

Is there something that I've done wrong

I thought with you i would grow older

Was i mistaken all along

There's a willow in my heart now

Beside the seeds you gave to me
The speaker nurtured the seeds given by the person, possibly representing the remnants of the relationship.
I watered it with drops of heartache

But salty tears made wilted leaves
