A sign of time I lost my life, forgot to die Like any man, a frightened guy I'm keeping memories inside Of wounded love But I know I'm more than sad and more today I'm eating words too hard to say A single tear and I'm away Away and gone I need you So far from hell, so far from you 'Cause heaven's hard and black and gray You're just a someone gone away You never said goodbye Why, lover why? Why do flowers die? Why, lover why? Why, lover why? Why do flowers die? Why, lover why? Every time I hear your voice, you heard my name You built the fire, wet the flame I swim for life, can't take the rain No turning back I need you So far from hell, so far from you 'Cause heaven's hard and black and gray You're just a someone gone away You never said goodbye Why, lover why? Why do flowers die? Why, lover why? Why, lover why? Why do flowers die? Why, lover why? Why, lover why? Why do flowers die? Why, lover why?
