Bm E A............
[Verse 1]
AIt’s not what I thought it would feel like.
The praise that’s seeping in,
Dit goes as quick as it comes
Alike it’s carried by some strong wind
Bmand I know what it seems like.
E A...That I’m thinking on leaving again...
[Verse 2]
AMaybe I’m just a little shallow
and if it’s true that still waters run deep
Dwell then I’ve been swiftly moving.
ACan the others see right through me?
BmMy masquerades and my illusions
E A...that I crafted so carefully.
BmWell, I’m just a broken illusion,
E A...I’m not as tough as I oughta be..
[Instrumental]
Bm E A............
[Chorus]
AWell, the flowers my mama bought me.
They only keep for two weeks
Dand then they just become another reminder
Athat he’s never gonna write to me.
BmAnd I spoke my fears to my mama.
E A...She said “Honey, just let it be.”
BmAnd then she sent some pretty flowers
E Awith the hopes that my hurtin’ they would ease..
[Instrumental]
Bm E A............
[Chorus]
AWell, you would think that I should feel happy,
but the truth is I feel spent.
DAnd the numbers they’ve been climbing.
AJust not enough to pay my rent.
BmI didn’t used to think much of the numbers,
E A..but now they’re always racing through my head.
BmAnd I guess that I grew a little shallow
E Awhen I forsook the words that my mama once said..
[Instrumental]
Bm E A............
Bm E A............
[Verse 3]
ANow my thoughts are slow and twisted.
And I can’t seem to break them down
Dwhich leaves my words false in meaning.
AI feel sad when I speak out loud.
BmI thought I was to be a better lover
E A..when I got out of that town.
BmBut I’m still no good in lovin’,
E Aand lovin’ only leaves me losin’ anyhow.
D BmYes, I’m still no good in lovin’,
E Aand lovin’ only leaves me losin’ anyhow..
[Outro]
