Buy Myself Flowers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found your note beneath the keys Three quiet words and last year's breeze The coffee cooled, the room stayed still I read it twice against my will [Pre-Chorus] I used to wait for your return Now I can watch the kettle burn And let the morning be my own A little peace inside this home [Chorus] I can buy myself flowers on a Tuesday afternoon Put them in the blue glass jar you left behind in June I can take the long way home, sing every word I choose I’m not waiting by the window for a sign from you I can fill this room with color, make the quiet move I can buy myself flowers, and I don’t need your approval [Verse 2] I changed the picture by the door The one where I was smiling more Not to erase the years we had Just to make room for the life ahead [Pre-Chorus] There’s a train at seven-fifteen A paperback and a seat for me No grand goodbye, no final scene Just open air and room to breathe [Chorus] I can buy myself flowers on a Tuesday afternoon Put them in the blue glass jar you left behind in June I can take the long way home, sing every word I choose I’m not waiting by the window for a sign from you I can fill this room with color, make the quiet move I can buy myself flowers, and I don’t need your approval [Bridge] Maybe love was not a promise Maybe it was passing through I can keep the good without it Turning every good to you [Final Chorus] I can buy myself flowers when the week is running late Leave the phone face down beside me, let the silence have its place I can take the long way home, sing every word I choose There’s a whole wide world beyond the door I thought I’d lose I can fill this room with color, make the quiet move I can buy myself flowers, and I’m learning how to bloom [Outro] Blue glass catching afternoon A small new life in every room
