Lyrics
Well I swear
Expressing a solemn promise or affirmation.
You knew the difference between right and wrong for a while
Acknowledging a past awareness of distinguishing right from wrong, which seems to have faded over time.
Don't you care
Questioning the listener's concern or interest.
It's been so long since I looked in the mirror and smiled
Reflecting on a prolonged period without finding joy or satisfaction in oneself.
Purple Daisies on my porch
Describing the presence of purple daisies on the speaker's porch.
They amaze me more and more
Expressing increasing wonder and admiration for the purple daisies.
What a good thing to adore
Highlighting the positive value of appreciating such simple and beautiful things.
Purple Daisies on my porch
Reiterating the presence of purple daisies on the porch.
You used to dance for the hell of it I don't get
Recalling a time when the listener used to dance freely, expressing confusion about the sudden change.
What made you stop on a dime
Pondering the abrupt cessation of the listener's dancing.
I used to sing my heart away every day but
Reflecting on a past period of singing passionately, contrasting with the current state of constant sleep.
Now I sleep all the time
Highlighting a significant shift in the speaker's lifestyle and emotions.
And what do I get for doing you right save the flowers on my porch
Questioning the tangible rewards for being morally upright, mentioning flowers on the porch and troubling thoughts at night.
And bad thoughts at night
Describing the mental burden and negative consequences despite doing the right thing.
What do you get for doing me wrong
Asking about the consequences of the listener's wrong actions.
You got six of my hoodies and all of my songs
Listing specific losses incurred due to the listener's wrongdoing.
And yet the flowers still bloom
Observing the continued blooming of flowers, symbolizing life's continuity despite personal struggles.
Indifferent to the thoughts of me and you unamused
Noting the flowers' indifference to the speaker's thoughts and emotions, suggesting a lack of impact.
And after all that I lose
Expressing a sense of defeat or loss despite the ongoing existence of the flowers.
Them purple daisies are just for me
Asserting the personal significance of the purple daisies despite challenges.
Oh my god
Exclaiming a reaction, possibly to a powerful realization or emotion.
I drive my car and the songs that I hear make me cry
Sharing an emotional response to music while driving.
At my job
Describing a façade of well-being maintained at the workplace.
They ask how I'm doing I fake a smile and I lie
Admitting to putting on a false front about personal feelings.
Purple Daisies sweet and bright
Revisiting the theme of purple daisies, emphasizing their sweetness and brightness.
Lost their color in the night
Noting a loss of vibrancy in the purple daisies during the night.
Close my eyes and they're inside
Imagining the presence of purple daisies in the speaker's closed eyes, suggesting an internal connection.
Purple Daisies sweet and bright
Reiterating the positive qualities of the purple daisies.
And yet the flowers still bloom
Repeating the observation of flowers blooming despite emotional detachment.
Indifferent to the thoughts of me and you unamused
Reemphasizing the flowers' indifference to the speaker's thoughts and emotions.
And after all that I lose
Acknowledging a sense of loss or disappointment despite the continued existence of the flowers.
Them purple daisies are just for me
Reasserting the personal significance of the purple daisies.
And yet the flowers still bloom
Reiterating the theme of flowers blooming, seemingly regardless of personal struggles or emotions.
Indifferent to the thoughts of me and you unamused
Highlighting the flowers' indifference to the speaker's thoughts and feelings.
And after all that I lose
Expressing a sense of loss or defeat despite the ongoing existence of the flowers.
Them purple daisies are just for me
Reaffirming the personal significance of the purple daisies despite challenges.
