Bad Flower

Intro

Verse 1

The morning dew was resting on your face

I thought I’d found the perfect time and place

To tell you all the things I had to say

But then I looked and turned the other way

I watched you blooming by the garden gate

I didn’t know I’d left it all too late

The sun came up to greet the lonely day

While I was throwing all my luck away

Chorus

Oh, bad flower, why’d you have to grow?

In a garden where I’ll never go

I had the words but kept them in my head

Now I’m sleeping in an empty bed

It’s much too late to try and hold your hand

You’re growing on a different piece of land

Verse 2

I saw you dancing in the afternoon

I didn’t think you’d find a love so soon

I saw him leaning down to take a smell

Of the secrets that I never got to tell

You look so happy in your new-found home

While I’m just sitting here and all alone

I missed the train, I missed the chance to fly

And now I’m waving as you’re passing by

Bridge

If I had only spoken up before

I wouldn’t be the one outside the door

But flowers don't just wait for me to choose

I played the game and now I have to lose

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh, bad flower, why’d you have to grow?

In a garden where I’ll never go

I had the words but kept them in my head

Now I’m sleeping in an empty bed

It’s much too late to try and hold your hand

You’re growing on a different piece of land

Looking at the sky

Never told you why

Now you belong to him
