[Verse 1] In her flowery sundress, green and yellow soft and bright Cartwheel hat still tilted, catching fragments of the light She stood before him trembling, letting fabric slowly fall Revealing every secret that her skin and spirit called [verse 2] “Habibi” traced in Arabic across her left clavicle Blue butterfly on neckline, wings of fragile miracle Rose upon her lower back, tribal patterns wrapped around Om sign on her ankle, where her spirit touched the ground [Pre-Chorus] In the soft glow of her room, she opened up so wide Every mark and every story, nothing left to hide [Chorusl] Flowery dress and cartwheel hat, now scattered on the floor Tattoos and piercings telling what her heart had worn In her sanctuary she stood, vulnerable and true Letting Thomas see the colors only she once knew [Verse 3] Pink duvet on wooden bed, white pillows crisp and clean Cottage lamp cast gentle gold on all her quiet dreams Self-help books and trinkets on the dressing table small Venetian blinds half open, letting twilight gently fall [Pre-Chorus] She shared her broken marriages, the pain, the strength, the scars While he drank in her presence beneath the bedroom stars [Chorus] Flowery dress and cartwheel hat, now scattered on the floor Tattoos and piercings telling what her heart had worn In her sanctuary she stood, vulnerable and true Letting Thomas see the colors only she once knew [Bridge] [Whispered, almost spoken] Cross pendant gently swaying, silver rings upon her ears She whispered she was ready to release her hidden fears Her small room held her safely, every corner spoke her name A fragile, flowery haven where she no longer felt ashamed [Verse 4] As layers dropped and stories flowed, her eyes met his with trust The wardrobe full of memories, the chair where she’d adjust In this tender revelation, clothed only in her truth She bloomed before his gentle gaze, reborn in quiet youth [Pre-Chorus] Her decorated haven witnessed hearts beginning to entwine [Chorus - Outro] Flowery dress and cartwheel hat, now scattered on the floor Tattoos and piercings telling what her heart had worn In her sanctuary she stood, vulnerable and true Letting Thomas see the beauty… only she once knew
