tall tales of flowers true

there were pretty flowers in my garden
but it wouldn't seem quite right
if i took them out that garden
where they couldn't see the light

but i did it all the same
took them with my own hands
now they're sitting by my beside
you couldn't say i didn't care

they looked pretty for weeks
heard my sweet song every day
i don't know if thats the reason
why they seemed to fade away

now they sit there withering
in the fading light
don't look at me that way
i gave them a chance of life

i didn't realise
that i'd disconnected
some vital organs, i should have just bought them
then i wouldn't feel so bad
