Fallen Petals

Apr 9

VERSE

And so, the petals wilted a little further

Unbeknownst to the common observer

Water dried out too soon

Emptiness beneath this new moon

CHORUS

And it's not worth the pluck of a heart's desire

Deep inside me lies a diming fire

It's alright, it's okay, it's not dire

Take some time to figure out why

VERSE

And so, the petals fell to the floor

All because you wanted more

Overtime they degraded

Could no longer be berated

CHORUS

And it's not worth the pluck of a heart's desire

Deep inside my lies, a diming fire

It's alright, it's okay, it's not dire

To this old way, we'll say goodbye

Goodbye

BRIDGE

We had a hell of a time

Sometimes it felt like a crime

Over time the petals broke down

And in new waters, they'll drown

And onto something new, the lessons bloomed

And it's not worth the pluck of a heart's desire

CHORUS

And it's not worth the pluck of a heart's desire (no, it's not worth it)

Deep inside my lies, a diming fire (you caused this)

It's alright, it's okay, it's not dire (I'll pretend to be fine)

To this old way, we'll say goodbye (please just say goodbye)

Goodbye

Bye
