Verse 1:

Walking down Central Street yesterday

I found the flower shop you loved

Remember when you said some loves fade away

Cause these flowers remind me of us

Red and green, your favorite roses

Bought them, thinking of you

Maybe I mistaken where we were heading

Cause I thought you would love them too

Chorus:

And I know we weren’t perfect

Maybe I do deserve it

When you promised you would love me so

Don’t tell me you didn’t mean it

Cause I see what you’re thinking

Maybe we weren’t built to last

Now you’re holding her hand

We were gone just like that

I’m still holding on to wasted flowers

Verse 2:

Ran down the street just trying to get away

Maybe it wasn’t the best decision

The roses in my vase are now turning grey

Just another, to add to my collection

Hard to forget the moment I dropped the flowers

You looked up, scared you were caught

Maybe it’s been weeks or a few hours

You say “It’s not what it looks like”

Chorus:

And I know we weren’t perfect

Maybe I do deserve it

When you promised you would love me so

Don’t tell me you don’t mean it

Cause I see what you’re thinking

Maybe we weren’t built to last

Now you’re holding her hand

We were gone just like that

I’m still holding on to wasted flowers

Bridge:

Watching you walk the streets we loved

Holding her hand, leaving what was ours

Was it cause I wasn’t enough?

Or was it cause you didn’t feel the love

I’m supposed to be the crying one

On my knees, begging “We’re not done”

We were fine until we came undone

When you dropped us and you chose to run

You’re okay and moving on

But I’m still here, holding on

To the petals slowly falling down

It’s just me mourning us now

Chorus:

And I know we weren’t perfect

Maybe I do deserve it

When you promised you would love me so

Don’t tell me you don’t mean it

Cause I see what you’re thinking

Maybe we weren’t built to last

Now you’re holding her hand

We were gone just like that

I’m still holding on to wasted flowers

I found the phrase "Wasted Flowers" somewhere and I started to create a story in my mind. This is how it turned out!
