Heard Ayxo's old song using the phrase "You made flowers grow in my lungs... And although they’re beautiful, I can’t breathe." Then it showed up a lot on Pinterest; are we sure they're not listening? So, I took it as a sign to do my own version. Enjoy, hopefully I'll be around more. ____ Quiet in the car... Nothing left to say to you. I’ve been holding it in... Since July. You like the way it looks When I’m quiet... Hands folded in my lap, So polite. You planted something in me, And you watched it take... Every little bit of space I had left to use. Mmm... it’s heavy. All the weight in my chest. And you’re smiling at me... Like I owe you my breath. You made flowers grow in my lungs... And although they’re beautiful, I can’t breathe. Yeah, they’re blooming in the dark... Right where you left me. And although they’re beautiful... I can’t breathe. Everybody says, "Look how good he is to you" "Look at what he gave you" Like I should be glad... I’m so full of what you wanted, There’s no room for air. If I open up my mouth, Would you even care? Or would you just pick another one? You made flowers grow in my lungs... And although they’re beautiful, I can’t breathe. Yeah, they’re blooming in the dark... Right where you left me. And although they’re beautiful... I can’t breathe. Pretty little stems... Wrapped around my ribs... Isn't it lovely, What you did? Don't touch me... Don't look at me... I can't get it out. I can't get it out. You made flowers grow in my lungs... They’re so pretty, though. Right? I can’t breathe.
