You Took the Petals Away ©
by Maura Mendoza
Every time you came into my place
It was a miracle,
You brought beautiful yellow flowers in Valentine’s and Mother’s Day,
But took the petals away.
Every time you disappear
for days I kind of lost it
But the ring on the phone
Reminded me of your voice, again,
You took the petals away.
Tell me, what is like,
Feels it s mean to be and suddenly
You took the flowers that you’d bring?
And took the petals away.
Uh uh uh uh
Tel me tell me tell me.
Uh uh uh uh
Tel me tell me tell me.
Tell if all I did was really just for me?
The kiss under the three and all the lies you said I did
Cursing all the love I handled all to you
Late at night until the morning find us on you bed? And took the petals away.
I don’t care what people say
I always make miskakes
But whisky and flower petals
Never get along really well,
You took the petals away.
Tell me, what is like,
Feels it s mean to be and suddenly
You took the flowers that you’d bring?
And took the petals away.
Uh uh uh uh
Tel me tell me tell me.
Uh uh uh uh
Tel me tell me tell me.
Tell if all I did was really just for me?
The kiss under the three and all the lies you said I did
Cursing all the love I handled all to you
Late at night until the morning find us on you bed? And took the petals away.
I don’t care what people say
I always make mistakes
You brought beautiful yellow flowers on Valentines and Mother’s Day.
But took the petals away.
