Flowers For Ophelia Lyrics

You're the colour in my hair 

 That just won't wash out 

 The fragrance that triggers 

 A memory of doubt 

 You're the song 

 That I hear 

 That just brings me down 

 You're the flavour that lingers 

 Like ashes in my mouth 

 

 If you 

 Build me up 

 Let me hope 

 Let me dream 

 I tear you down 

 Let you hurt 

 Let you need 

 

 Well I'm not really sure 

 But I think that I missed it 

 Don't ask me how 

 Cause I still don't quite get it 

 You could blame it on fate 

 Say I'm a victim of cupid 

 But I took 24 years 

 To get this stupid 

 

 If you 

 Place your faith 

 Give youself 

 Trust in me 

 And I use you up 

 Suck you dry 

 Let you bleed 

 

 Well I'll say that it ain't 

 But I know that it's through 

 If you try to blame me I can pin it on you 

 I"ll run from the truth 

 Or pretend I don't see it 

 And I'll say "I love you" and not really mean it 

 

 Well I'm not really sure 

 But I think that I missed it 

 Don't ask me how cause I still don't quite get it 

 But I'll push you for answers 

 Just to see if you'll break 

 So strike up you're band we'll waltz through it again 

 Ya, I'll fight the battle 

 If you fly the banner 

 I'll hold the nails girl if you swing the hammer 

 You could call me obsessed 

 But I still wish I could see ya 

 Sneakin into your backyard 

 With these flowers for Ophelia
