lyrics

Why did you buy me flowers?
Was it a gesture of love or guilt?
Just when I thought I had rid you from my mind
I found an old petal in my room

We were at Southern Cross
You had your hands behind your back
Stretched them out, holding grocery flowers
I said “no one’s ever done anything like that”

And we got on the train and you smiled at me
I found comfort with my knee against yours
You said “let’s talk tomorrow” just before the doors closed
And I wanted for you by my phone

But you never called
You left me wondering
You never called
And I’m still wondering

Why did you buy me flowers?
Should of just left me like the other boys do
It would of hurt less and I’d have less questions
But instead I’m left with a piece of you

Like a fool
You left me wondering
Like a fool
I’m still wondering

Do you like me?
Do you not?
Do you like me?
Do you not?
Do you like me?
I guess not
There’s a petal I forgot

Do you like me?
Do you not?
Do you like me?
Do you not?
Do you like me?
I guess not
There’s a petal I forgot

Do you like me?
Do you not?
Do you like me?
Do you not?
Do you like me?
I guess not
There’s a petal I forgot
