Flowers For Ophelia lyrics

You`re the colour in my hair
That just won`t wash out
The fragrance that triggers
A memory of doubt
You`re the song
That I hear
That just brings me down
You`re the flavour that lingers
Like ashes in my mouth

If you
Build me up
Let me hope
Let me dream
I tear you down
Let you hurt
Let you need

Well I`m not really sure
But I think that I missed it
Don`t ask me how
Cause I still don`t quite get it
You could blame it on fate
Say I`m a victim of cupid
But I took 24 years
To get this stupid

If you
Place your faith
Give youself
Trust in me
And I use you up
Suck you dry
Let you bleed

Well I`ll say that it ain`t
But I know that it`s through
If you try to blame me I can pin it on you
I`ll run from the truth
Or pretend I don`t see it
And I`ll say `I love you` and not really mean it

Well I`m not really sure
But I think that I missed it
Don`t ask me how cause I still don`t quite get it
But I`ll push you for answers
Just to see if you`ll break
So strike up you`re band we`ll waltz through it again
Ya, I`ll fight the battle
If you fly the banner
I`ll hold the nails girl if you swing the hammer
You could call me obsessed
But I still wish I could see ya
Sneakin into your backyard
With these flowers for Ophelia
