Black Flowers

Sometimes my heart stops
And I can’t see you through the teardrops
You hold me like a sister holds a brother
Just a little sad that we feel that way
Somewhere under your skin
Someplace no one can break in
Somewhere I just can’t get to
Something that is just for you
We’re black flowers, you and me
We never grew up, successfully
Felt like we hung out all day in a noose
Waiting for some dream to cut us loose
Somewhere under your skin
Someplace no one can break in
Somewhere I just can’t get to
Something that is just for you
Somewhere dark inside my heart
Someplace no one put a light
Somewhere you could start a fire
Have sunshine through the night
