Ostensible Flowers

from The Border by Carlton Hesston

/

lyrics

Set me on your window make the view so nice and pretty
You keep me there in a constant stare when you're too tired to hit the city
You wear me out like string in a bow then you stay so stoic and cool
'Til you want me gone cause I'm too close or too far that's how you make me look like a fool

It's so easy for you to hold me close
Cause you can't be alone and you don't love me

You made me out to be the bouquet that you caught after all those weddings
But here we lay nothing to think or say shaking hands like it's heavy petting
I don't mean to say you weren't breath to me when I was suffocating
But you turned around and I found you out
I'm just the flowers on the grave of your past

It's so easy for you to hold me close
Cause you can't be alone and you don't love me

You done me wrong yeah you done fucked up you're telling friends of ours that I'm cruel
But you're so crazy I think it's amazing anyone can think they know you at all
It just goes to show you only love the unknown that you can make into what you need
But it's the ostensible love that's got me mad that you're gone but I'll just pick some flowers of my own
