Dead Flowers Lyrics by Midnight Youth

The Brave Don’t Run

2009

[Verse 1]
In this life we're tested and tainted
And only some make it through
But we see hope in this Garden of Eden
And I'll never give it up, no
[Verse 2]
Sweet Renee, she was destined for me
We had a road to drive on
But I let her sway from the headlights
And I had to give her up
So I gave her
[Chorus]
Dead flowers
And ran away
Dead flowers
They hit me in the wrong way
[Verse 3]
Jack and Jill, they went climbing that mountain
They went to hold hands
But by the time they had got it together
The view said to give it up
'Cause they saw
[Chorus]
Dead flowers
And ran away
Dead flowers
They hit me in the wrong way
They hit me in the wrong way
[Bridge]
Well, all these failures mean something
My lonely heart is a mess
All these lows have hardened my soul
But is there time for me yet
To trust my mother was taken
For a cause so bright and true
Will you give me some time to mourn
With an angel like you
Or will I water my resting place
Let my roots unfurl
Well, all at once I knew that I had
All at once I knew that I had hope
[Outro]
I'll never give up
I'll never give it up
