Lyric

The bouquet leaned beside me

Wrapped in quiet red

I drove past your building

With every word unsaid

Your window kept its darkness

My phone stayed on the dash

I slowed down at the corner

Then let the moment pass

I thought beauty could reach you

Where I could not

But flowers need a hand

And I had lost the spot

I kept driving through the city

With love I could not place

Every light turned golden

Then left me in its wake

The ribbon touched my sleeve

At every red light

Like something still alive

Trying to ask why

I rehearsed one honest sentence

Until it came apart

Some men bring the flowers

After closing every heart

I kept driving through the city

Past the life I did not save

Holding something beautiful

Too late to give away
