Lyrics
Flowers, they blow away
Flowers represent delicate and transient aspects of life.
When their wind is too strong to keep them in place
Challenges and difficulties can overpower fragile things.
And my flower wanted to stray
The speaker's love or a significant relationship wanted freedom.
And it wasn't too long before she blew away
The relationship ended or faced a setback.
No matter what I say I want you to love me
The speaker desires unconditional love despite challenges.
And no matter what I do I know I'll end up lonely
Anticipation of loneliness despite efforts to avoid it.
And I hope you know since I saw you cry it's been the only
A poignant memory of the partner's tears stands out.
Memory from the last two years I've constantly been holding
A significant memory overshadowing the past two years.
Flowers, they fall apart
Flowers symbolize fragility, and relationships can break.
When the petals blow away in the breeze after dark
Even beautiful things can fall apart in challenging times.
And my flower, your thorns were sharp
The partner had sharp edges (difficulties) but lost appeal when love faded.
But the pain lost it's beauty when we lost a spark
The pain lost its significance when the emotional connection ended.
No matter what I say I want you to love me
Continued desire for love despite inevitable loneliness.
And no matter what I do I know I'll end up lonely
Acknowledgment of an unavoidable sense of isolation.
And I hope you know since I saw you cry it's been the only
A lasting memory of seeing the partner cry.
Memory from the last two years I've constantly been holding
A poignant memory dominating the speaker's recollection.
Something's missing
A realization that something crucial is missing.
The way I feel, the way I am
An expression of dissatisfaction with one's emotions and state of being.
The way you cried, the way I can't hold on
Reflection on emotional vulnerability and inability to hold on.
To all my flaws, to all I saw
Acceptance of personal flaws and acknowledging what was witnessed.
To what we thought
Recollection of shared thoughts or expectations.
Everything was all wrong all along
An acknowledgment that everything felt wrong throughout.
Flowers, they blow away
Repetition of the symbolism of fragile things being affected by external forces.
When their wind is too strong to keep them in place
Reiteration of the idea that challenges can overpower delicate elements.
And my flower wanted to stray
Repetition of the partner's desire for freedom leading to separation.
And it wasn't too long before she blew away
Confirmation that the separation occurred not long after the desire for freedom.
