Behind the Flowers Lyrics by Holly Macve

Not The Girl

2021

[Verse 1]
The sun falls down behind that railway track
The road is long but I ain't turnin' back
[Pre-Chorus]
The last word he said was the first time I felt free
The last breath he took was the first breath I could breathe
[Chorus]
Behind the flowers, my mother planted
There lies a house painted black
And I was guilty, I kept my mouth shut
Until the ground beneath me cracked
[Verse 2]
Lord, I told you that I needed you
I've been forgiving, and I've always been true
But you let him pass the line, the line I carefully drew
And you lеt him pass the line till it becamе nothing new
[Chorus]
Under the willow tree, I stood silently
Knowin' what I was about to do
No tears did I shed, no doubts did I get
When I watched the bullet go through
[Bridge]
And as the moonlit hit his eyes
His hand covered up my cries
I couldn't stop him if I tried
I was nothin' but a child
I was nothin' but a child
I was nothin' but a child
[Pre-Chorus]
The last word he said was the first time I felt free
The last breath he took was the first breath I could breathe
[Chorus]
Behind the flowers, my mother planted
There lies a house painted black
Ooh, and I was guilty, I kept my mouth shut
Until the ground beneath me cracked
[Instrumental Outro]
