A song written when I was in denial about my feelings for Kitty.

stop on the side of the road
saw an old thrift store sitting there
we went in and checked it out
two orange statues on a chair
you found a book and I
looked at you and said a prayer

i gave you my heart in a vase
of ruby red roses fully blooming
when i saw you next they
were on your desk wilting
when you came home they
were dead and you were saying

hey oh, girl do you know
i've loved you since the beginning
all i can think of is you and I
kissing until, oh, doesn't it sting
and all I can think about is
hey oh, girl stop lying
roses I gave you, they're dead
hey oh, you mean nothing
the lies ache through my teeth

driving down the I15, you're singing
looking at you, do you know
i'm suffering in this seat right here,
love lost is no longer growing whoa
but boy i want you, i want you,
i almost cried but that's how it goes

I gave you my soul in a vase
of flaming sunflowers blooming
when I saw you next they
were on your desk wilting
when you came home they
were dead and you were saying

hey oh, girl do you know
i've loved you since the beginning
all i can think of is you and I
kissing until, oh, doesn't it sting
and all I can think about is
hey oh, girl stop lying
flowers I gave you, they're dead
hey oh, you mean nothing
the lies ache through my teeth

it's been a while since the flowers,
since I gave my heart and soul
since you loved me more than this
but my every move you still control
my every thought you still control
i'm not in love with you anymore
but sometimes it's an inside war
