If I gave you a flower for every song I wrote for youI'd grow a garden out in the meadows right in our own backyardIf I gave you a flower for every lie you toldI'd make a city growing roses filled with thornsI'll plant every color, crimson, honey, and pinkThough you can never see it because your love was colorblindPatching up the grass to grow seeds in our own backyardBut you never dealt with the problems undergroundSo now you dig out, make amends, correct the path with a little pretendPour some water, plants, and flowers on that very landIf I blew dandelions for every aisle of viewsI think it'd look like snow with all the flying fairies aroundIf I picked the petals from the daisies you gaveI'd keep reciting your love smear not till my fingers bleedI'll plant different colors, white, blue, and tangerineThough you can never see it because your love was colorblindPatching up the grass to grow seeds in our own backyardBut you never dealt with the problems undergroundSo now you dig out, make amends, correct the path with a little pretendPour some water, plants, and flowers on that very landSo now you're sorry in front of a hazeChange the mind that corrupted your waysFallen panelists of what you did to meYou said we're perennial plantsBecause flowers truly witherBut your words last foreverI'll plant a little pretendPour some water, plants, and flowers on that very land
