lyrics

Time after time you were saying goodbye, weren't you?
Every night spent in somebody's bed, not mine
So I have to stay in this place behind my eyes
Where you love me

Flowers on your stairs
And kind words for your pain

The sweat on my palms makes it painfully obvious
But breaking my heart, you stay cordial and kind
The hints were as subtle as cries from a loudspeaker
You don't call, you don't write

Flowers on your stairs
And kind words for your pain
And curtains open wide
On mornings in my head

And I'm seventeen again
In a broken car again
With a broken heart
In a different city now
In a different time
But it's all the same
Just another song

Flowers on your stairs
And kind words for your pain
And curtains open wide
On mornings in my head
Flowers on your stairs
