I see flowers where they don't belong
I know people who think they aren't strong
I believe that pretty things can grow on trees
They bloom on branches that sway in the breeze
Their roots are buried somewhere in our hearts
But what if our hearts were to tear apart?
Would those roots that keep us composed,
Wither into something that will make us exposed?
I see people where they don't belong
I know humans who think they aren't strong
I believe that emotion grows in our minds
They bloom on branches of all kinds
Their roots are buried somewhere in our hearts
But what if our hearts were to tear apart?
Would those roots that keep us composed,
Shatter us into something that will make us exposed?
I see one person who doesn't belong
I know she thinks she isn't strong
I believe flowers of emotion bloom in her mind
That fine bouquet flourishes on branches that make her kind
Their roots are buried somewhere deep in her heart
But what if her heart were to tear apart?
Would those roots that keep her composed,
Demolish her into something that will make her exposed?
I see myself and I don't belong
I know I think I'm not strong
I believe buds of emotion blossom in my mind
Those fine buds bloom on branches that make me kind
Their roots are buried somewhere deep in my heart
But what if my heart were to tear apart?
Would those roots that keep me alive,
Break me into something that wouldn't survive?
I see you and you don't belong
I know you think you're not strong
I believe roses of emotion open up in your mind
Those roses flourish on branches that make you kind
Their roots are buried somewhere deep in your heart
But what if your heart were to tear apart?
Would those roots that keep you kind,
Crack you into something that would make you blind?
