Flowers For Ophelia

Englishman J.


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
