Flowers

Met the girl of his dreams
He was just sixteen
He'd do back flips to turn his head
He really loved her
Down on one knee at twenty
He said baby marry me
They vowed pretty sacred promises
He felt like a king
He worked really hard
Built a castle bought a car
Wanted to make her dreams true
They raised a family

He didn't notice her drifting away by the hours
He forgot to bring her flowers
Didn't know what went wrong
They stopped getting along

Climbing the ladder His wallet got fatter
Got lost in his own world
He didn't listen
To the hints she was dropping
So she dug her heels in
The party quickly came to an end
pay more attention

He didn't notice her drifting away by the hours
He forgot to bring her flowers
Didn't know what went wrong
They stopped getting along

Inside out and upside down
He would do anything now
To turn it all around
