David Adam Byrnes - She Only Wanted Flowers

[Verse 1]
That Cadillac in the driveway hasn't moved in 18 days
That dresser full of clothes I bought just takes up space
And that jewelry on the vanity, it lays around in vain
When I look around at all i see, that girl had everything

[Chorus]
But she only wanted flowers
It's the little things that matter
All the pretty things money brings, didn't mean a thing to her
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed
But I missed the forest for the trees and now I'm sittin' here without her
Why couldn't I see, she only wanted flowers

[Verse 2]
The last thing we did together, was tear each other apart
Splittin' everything down the middle, from the end back to the start
She looked down at that diamond ring and broke down in the hall
When her tears fell on the marble, she said baby keep it all

[Chorus]
'Cause she only wanted flowers
It's the little things that matter
All the pretty things money brings, didn't mean a thing to her
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed
But I missed the forest for the trees and now I'm sittin' here without her
Why couldn't I see, she only wanted flowers


[Chorus]
She only wanted flowers
It's the little things that matter
All the pretty things money brings, didn't mean a thing to her
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed
But I missed the forest for the trees and now I'm sittin' here without her
Why couldn't I see, why couldn't I see
She only wanted flowers
