Flower - Old Scents

I think of my heart like a field
once you've been planted there you're there for a long time
till' your flower dies
I know i'm like the historical district, missed pit in the road of a city you never liked
nice to be in at first but the magic wears out over time
you'll get bored of me move on and further flip your dime
the word of luck is travelling far, and baby i know your sign
and all people say is you're loved more than anyone in this life
until the other, lovely guy, enjoy your knife
you put in me and pinned me to a wall i thought once we could call our own
where we'd kiss, and never feel alone
well now we're alone
but the feeling's not mutual
you're happier now, to that i bow, and i vow to plow this field once again
it's a win for us both in the end
new flowers will bloom, it's true and i'll keep the seeds we sowed
perhaps again they might grow
but for now i'm here and barren of all i once could show
i love you like you loved me when your petals shone
brightly and excitedly our smiles in tone
in tune with a song i'd felt i'd been singing all along
but it seems i've forgotten that melody, and you're singing another
with another lover and he's all about your covers
and how they smell
your hearts will swell and they will tell
so many stories together, getting drunk at night
take flight my last love, i'm not jealous or unkind
with the crowd which is much louder than me
i'm wearing gray and the others well they've got flambouyancy
their colors well they smother every part of me
which might have been noticed in a heart gallery
yeah that's me
yeah that's me
me
