Now we reach the end, I ran the marathon The road had many bends, but we knew that all along I think it made me stronger, but I would rather not Betray myself just to keep your love at any cost And it's most tempting to give in when you hear the firing shots When you're steps from winning back all the happiness you lost Lost, lost, lost With every callous action, you let me slip away If you'd just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe If you'd just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed Maybe I would've stayed, maybe I would've stayed The seeds we planted grew, but not like roses do We had the thorns and leaves, but the buds they never bloomed And now my future gleams with colors bold and bright In a home that's filled with love and hope and a life that just feels right And it's most tempting to give in when you're almost at the top When you're steps from winning back all the happiness you lost Lost, lost, lost With every callous action, you let me slip away If you'd just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe If you'd just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed Maybe I would've stayed, maybe I would've stayed I wouldn't have walked away, I wouldn't have walked away And there's no heartbreak left to feel, it happened years ago After you made your choices, I melted away like snow Cause you like lying to yourself and now I'll never know What parts of your love were for real and what parts were for show With every callous action, you let me slip away If you'd just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe If you'd just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed Maybe I would've stayed, maybe I would've stayed I wouldn't have walked away, I wouldn't have walked away I wouldn't have walked away
