Sunflower

When the longing hits
Remember we used to be love
It was intense, but it was love
Messing around in the car to feed the craving

I've stopped looking for you
At every corner I passed
I left behind lines I never sang to you
Sunflower, look at the Sun

I could feel it all over my body
It was love, turned to pain
And time healed
It was love, turned to pain
And time healed

This is the last verse
I'll write for you, my love
I drank in every corner
Just to fall apart

I saw you everywhere
Or I took you everywhere
I never let go of your spell
I should've pulled myself together

You know, every now and then the heart burns
And the night fills up with regret and longing
I drown it with cigarettes and cheap wine
Bus window, city lights

I hear you in a song and I see the truth
I wanted you close, but I was wrong
I admit I didn't listen to you
In every line, I made you eternal

Listen, flower, it's over, I failed
I admit I didn't listen to you
In every line, I made you eternal
Listen, flower, it's over, I failed

I was never meant for love
But when the longing hits
Remember we used to be love
It was intense, but it was love

Messing around in the car to feed the craving
I've stopped looking for you
At every corner I passed
I left behind lines I never sang to you
Sunflower, look at the Sun

I could feel it all over my body
It was love, turned to pain
And time healed
It was love, turned to pain
And time healed
