Bouquet

I tried to write about sympathy

I got this big old box with all these flowers

Aren’t they pretty?

I’m walking for hours feeling witty

So i stumble upon you, not having a good day 

So i say, hey, hey, just take one of my flowers

And you say thanks

And it brightens up your day, and you head on your way 

Now i have one less flower, but that’s okay because i say that’ll be okay 

Just  7 pretty flowers all wrapped in a box

I wish they were limitless but they’re not 

She sits in the corner crying

And i wipe her tears with a large sunflower 

And she takes it, and gets filled with joy

And i sink a little bit deeper, but that’s fine 

Because i’ve still got some flowers left 

I think some of them i should’ve kept 

But it’s too late now i’m helping other people 

It’s not too late 

Another day another flower 

Are you okay? Another flower 

Out of harm's way, another day, another flower 

3..

2..

1.. Flowers left i’m running so low on the life that i once had 

I take a glance at my friend in the garden

And they need a flower

So i debate to give my flower

To give them the power 

Of joy in their life 

And fight away any sour thoughts of every single day 

And take it on myself as i drift far away 

Deeper into the dirt i crawl like my flowers 

Cuz now i’m all out, and i’m all out of sun 

I wish i never had any flowers 

Because now like a vase, i’m empty 

But at least everyone else has my flowers 

And that makes them happy 

So maybe it’s worth it in the end 

A hand i could lend 

Yet i’m losing grasp on my own sense of life 

I feel i’m drowning in strife
