When did I start to roll my eyes
At things that used to always light a fire?
You never judged, guess I'll chalk it up
To patience, 'cause I know you're not a liar
There I was, just waitin', clearin' shelves for decorations
While mistakin' subtlety for somethin' wrong
Now, lookin' from a distance at whatever I was missin'
It was right there in the kitchen all along

Been so busy prayin' for my grand bouquet
Not noticin' you gave me a new flower every day
They collected over time, I let them die along the way
Just wanna say I'm sorry, and I hope it's not too late

Sure, I understood all the self-help books
But I still became the person that I hate
The ones who bother with rose-colored fodder
Instead of puttin' water in the vase

I've been so busy prayin' for my grand bouquet
Not noticin' you gave me a new flower every day
They collected over time, I let them die along the way
I just wanna say I'm sorry, and I hope it's not too late

Oh
I don't always say it
But you always pick my favorite

Been so busy prayin' for my grand bouquet
Not noticin' you gave me a new flower every day
You didn't need a reason or a made-up holiday
I just wanna say I'm sorry, and I hope it's not too late
