People Are Like Flowers


Picking flowers for their beauty
Leaving them to die
They had so much more to give
So many tears to cry
And so many more to shed
But because of you
The flower is alone in their


Leave the flower
For no one to find
For it to stay hidden
It's one of a kind
Don't play with their feelings
And don't mess with their mind

The flower is precious
You may not think so
But this flower has plans
And places to go
The flower has things they want to do
Many of those things 
Could have been with you

But you messed up
And now you're in your head
Now the flower
Wishes it was dead
