Regina Spektor - The Flowers letra de canción

The flowers you gave me are rotting
And still I refuse to throw them away.
Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully
They might so I'm waiting and staying awake.

Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep
I'll never know if I go to sleep.

The papers around me are piling and twisting
Regina the paper back mummy
What then.

I'm taking the knife to the books that I own
And chopping and chopping and
Boiling soup from stone.

Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
