he did not want to hear

-
He did not want to hear
How the flowers grow
Or why the sun rises
But he had to
Because that is what you do
When your whole world crashes down
You are to make it out alive
No matter how much it hurts
You have to accept it
But he wanted nothing more
Than the love of his life
To stand there
Right there
So that he could tell her
How the stars don't shine as bright
Without her
And how still their little white house
Has become without her
But the ground holds her now
And he is left to hear about
How the flowers grew
And why the sun rose
Because that is what you do. -

So that he could tell her
How the stars don't shine as bright
Without her -- apt feelings
