[Intro]
It's been a couple months
Since I came back here
But your name in the stone
Still makes everything disappear

[Verse 1]
I brought the flowers you would've liked
Sat beside your grave until it turned to night
Told you every stupid thing that's happened since
Like somehow you could hear me through the silence
I said I miss you more than anybody knows
Then watched the evening settle over all the stones
For the first time in months I didn't wanna leave
'Cause this is the closest place to you that I can be

[Pre-Chorus]
I stayed too late
Talking to your name
Telling you I'm sorry
Telling you I've changed

[Chorus]
Where the flowers stay
I keep coming back again
When the whole world moves ahead
I still remember when
You were my first love
Before goodbye became my pain
So I sit beside your memory
Where the flowers stay

[Post-Chorus]
Where the flowers stay
Where the flowers stay
I still say your name
Where the flowers stay

[Verse 2]
One night became another, then another after that
I'd stay there way too late just talking to the past
I thought if I stayed close enough the hurt might disappear
Like sleeping near your memory could somehow keep you here
But morning always found me with the same old ache
And I started understanding grief won't leave that way
I can visit, I can cry, I can tell you everything
But I still need somewhere warm to go when nighttime settles in

[Pre-Chorus]
So when it gets late
I'll tell you goodnight
I'll carry your memory with me
I'm staying all night

[Break]
I wanted every night
To end beside your name
Because going home without you
Made everything feel changed
But loving what we had
Doesn't mean I have to stay
I can miss you every night
And still walk home away

[Bridge]
I'll bring you flowers
I'll tell you about my week
I'll sit here when I'm hurting
I'll cry when I need
I'll tell you I still love
The memories we made
Then I'll stand when darkness comes
And leave the flowers at your grave

I don't have to lose myself
To prove I haven't forgotten you
I can keep living my life
And still keep loving what I knew

[Build]
Goodnight
Not goodbye
Goodnight
I'll come back sometime
Goodnight
Not goodbye
I'll carry you with me tonight

[Final Chorus]
Where the flowers stay
I'll keep coming back again
Even while my life moves on
I'll still remember when
You were my first love
And that will never fucking change
But I'll sleep here when night arrives
And leave the flowers where they stay

[Final Post-Chorus]
Where the flowers stay
Where the flowers stay
I'll remember your name
Where the flowers stay

[Outro]
It's getting late
So I'm sleeping at your grave

I miss you
I really fucking miss you

I'll come back every night

Goodnight
