MARINA – Flowers Lyrics
Flowers Lyrics by MARINA
I ran the marathon
The road had many bends
But we knew that all along
I think it made me stronger
But I would rather not
Betray myself, just to keep your love at any cost
[Pre-Chorus] And it’s most tempting to give in
When you hear the firin’ shots
When you’re steps from winning back
All the happiness you lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost
Lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost
[Chorus] With every careless action, you let me slip away
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would’ve stayed
You didn’t think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe
If you just bought mе flowers, maybe I would’ve stayеd
[Post-Chorus] Maybe I would’ve stayed
Maybe I would’ve stayed
But not like roses do
We had the thorns and leaves
But the buds, they never bloomed
And now my future gleams
With colors bold and bright
In a home that’s filled with love and hope
And a life that just feels right
[Pre-Chorus] And it’s most tempting to give in
When you’re almost at the top
When you’re steps from winning back
All the happiness you lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost
Lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost
[Chorus] With every careless action, you let me slip away
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would’ve stayed
You didn’t think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would’ve stayed
[Post-Chorus] Maybe I would’ve stayed
Maybe I would’ve stayed
I wouldn’t have walked away
I wouldn’t have walked away [Bridge] And there’s no heartbreak left to feel
It happened years ago
After you made your choices
I melted away like snow
‘Cause you like lying to yourself
And now I’ll never know
What parts of your love were for real
And what parts were for show
[Chorus] With every careless action, you let me slip away
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would’ve stayed
You didn’t think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would’ve stayed
[Post-Chorus] Maybe I would’ve stayed
Maybe I would’ve stayed
I wouldn’t have walked away
I wouldn’t have walked away
