I was never the kind
To fall for a pretty face.
You disguised your malice with beauty,
And I fell for you all the same.

But innocence fades,
For its roots are not built to last.
It withers and it dies,
Like flowers I've picked in the past.

But paralysed petals
Are not the fault of nature.
It was not winter that froze your heart;
It was your frigid behaviour.
