The flowers have died, never knew why my thumbs can't be greener

The petals they cried for a dream, of something better

Than to drown in the salt of tears, I swear to dry them faster

I remember when my mother said,

"Baby girl, you don't need a man."

Oh, how I wish I could draw from that

But does it apply to a woman?

You should've seen it, momma, you've should've been there

So perfect and wild, we loved like a dare

I overlooked her smile, that Devil May Care

Attitude was what stopped me from listening to you

Heartbreak's never been so sweet, yet so bitter at the same time

I can feel her kisses haunting me, always see those deep brown eyes

Tell me what I have to do? Is this how it'll be until I die?

I remember when my mother cried,

"You have sinned, come cleanse your mind,"

Oh, how I wish I could redefine

Myself just to make her smile

But momma, you should've seen it all, oh you should've been there

So perfect and wild, we loved like a dare

I overlooked her smile, that Devil May Care

Attitude was what stopped me from listening to you

But is loving a woman my mistake?

Or was loving the wrong one what drove the stake

Through my chest, oh mother it aches

To lose her and you, my heart can't take

It anymore

But why is your love so quick to leave?

I thought you supported every part of me

Is this a rocky step to self-discovery?

Oh maybe, momma, just maybe

You should've caught me, momma, you've should've been there

I was broken and fragile, yet you didn't care

I overlooked your Devil talk and your endless prayers

Just listen to me, like I listen to you

Love is love

And I hope everyone finds it
