歌詞

The flowers open every morning

Just to catch your passing light

And birds outside these old hotel windows

Practice love songs through the night

Champagne trembles in the candle glow

Whenever you walk in the room

Darling, even velvet curtains

Seem to lean and bloom for you

Neon rivers after midnight rain

Spell your name across the street

And every saxophone in every ballroom

Breaks its heart beneath your feet

I dance alone beneath the chandeliers

Still pretending you might stay

While the stars above this tired city

Turn their silver eyes your way

And maybe I’m a fool

Maybe I’ve gone too far

But how else could I explain

The way the heavens burn when you are near?

The flowers bloom for you tonight

The stars all shimmer in your name

And if this world was not made for you

Then I must be insane

Every streetlight glows for you

Every lonely band still plays

And if the universe don’t need your smile

Then why does my heart obey?

There’s whiskey on my breath tonight

And moonlight on your empty chair

I swear the whole damn world keeps turning

Just to leave your shadow there

I laugh too loud

I tip too much

I wear my heartbreak like cologne

But every crowded room grows quiet

When I realize I’m alone

And maybe I’m absurd

Maybe love’s a lie men tell

But your name still rises softly

Like smoke through this expensive hell

The flowers bloom for you tonight

The stars all shimmer in your name

And if this world was not made for you

Then I must be insane

Every trumpet cries for you

Every midnight sky still sways

And if the universe don’t hold your heart

Then what was I made for anyway?

Maybe the stars were never yours…

Maybe I just needed them to be
