Joe Henry - Mean Flower Lyrics
How beautiful youve made yourselfHow cruel youve become,How so much like anotherThat its no surpriseThat I dont recognize you now soBeautiful and cruelYoure the meanest flowerYou raise me off the groundTo see how far there is to fall,As if I dont rememberHow we passed the time,As if I dont remember howYour face fell into mineOh, youre the meanest flowerNotice how I vanishAnd your world remains,You show your head above itFor spite, nothing more,Like you thought just livingWas somehow its own rewardYoure the meanest flower
