Amazon Lily

[Verse 1] Rain on my shoulders, heat in the air Footsteps behind me, but I don’t turn there I learned the language of staying alive Roots in the shadows, I learned how to hide They say I’m distant, say I’m too cold But they don’t know what the jungle knows I don’t open just for the thrill I wait for the night to be still [Pre-Chorus] You reach for me like I’m easy to take But every touch is a risk I weigh If you want more than the surface skin You gotta earn where the petals end [Chorus] I’m an Amazon lily I don’t bloom for just anybody White in the dark, rare and wild You won’t find me if you’re passing by I’m an Amazon lily Danger and beauty inside of me If I open up, don’t take it lightly I don’t bloom for just anybody [Verse 2] Eyes like a fire you try to tame Hands full of promises you can’t sustain You talk real sweet, but I’ve heard that song I know what’s right, I know what’s wrong I feel your breath, I feel the pull But I don’t bend just because I could If you want love, not a fantasy Show me patience, show me honesty [Pre-Chorus] I’ve seen hearts break in the pouring rain Watched them rot when they rushed the flame If you want me, come slowly in Respect the thorns, respect the stem [Chorus] I’m an Amazon lily I don’t bloom for just anybody White in the dark, rare and wild You won’t find me if you’re passing by I’m an Amazon lily Danger and beauty inside of me If I open up, don’t take it lightly I don’t bloom for just anybody [Bridge] Midnight flowers don’t chase the sun We wait for the ones who really come If you’re real, you’ll stay the night If you’re not, you’ll fear the quiet Don’t rush the roots beneath my skin Don’t touch the crown unless you’re in This kind of love don’t come for free You gotta see all of me [Final Chorus] I’m an Amazon lily I don’t bloom for just anybody Soft but strong, sacred, rare I open once, I’m fully there I’m an Amazon lily Heart like a jungle, deep in me If I bloom for you, don’t betray me I don’t bloom for just anybody [Outro] White in the dark Wild and alive If I bloom for you You know why
