lyrics

What have you done? We had so much
You threw it all away, for some stranger’s touch.

What have I done? Why treat me like this?
You threw it all away, for some stranger’s kiss.

I could stay, hope that things will change
But they won’t, they will stay the same
Before us only pain.

Those were the flowers of happiness and they don't grow here any more.

So I tore the flowers down, for all we had is gone
All that we tended and nurtured for so long.
Before us only pain.

Those were the flowers of happiness and they don't grow here any more.

I feel that I can’t forgive you
And I fear that I can’t live with you
Things have changed.

Every time that this happens my heart goes like this
Always starts with a word and it ends with a kiss.

It’s all gone to seed now, I need you to go
But you always convince me, I never can say no
Please leave me.

I don't want to decide, 'cos I don't want to regret
And I still care so deeply event though there’s nothing left,
Please leave me.

You always come back, I never say no
But things are different this time, there are no more seeds to sow.
So I plucked up all my strength and tore down all the flowers
Then I sat and stared at this naked wall for hours
I've got to get over this fear that I’m wrong
This time I need to be strong.
