Dying Flowers

Run the race, play the crowd
You know you've got it figured out
I won't say anything at all

The vacant stares, the coming costs
The tidal wave that will kill us off
This is your playground, but I'll drown

We're dying flowers, throw in the towel
Run while you can, you can still get out out
I won't sit around to watch the flame go out

A bitter taste left in my mouth
What once was love amounts to nothing now
I guess I'll see you around

I'll sing the songs, I'll play the crowd
But they've all got me figured out
They know what I'm about

Yet you can't see just what I want
Just want you happy, babe, that's more than enough
But you want something more

We're dying flowers, throw in the towel
Run while you can, you can still get out out
I won't sit around to watch the flame go out

A bitter taste left in my mouth
What once was love amounts to nothing now
I guess I'll see you around

Well, here I go, I'm leaving now
There ain't much else to talk about
The words I want are caught up in my mouth

And all I want is to turn around
And show you the tears that have emptied out
But I'm tired of the run around

We're dying flowers, throw in the towel
Run while you can, you can still get out out
I won't sit around to watch the flame go out
