Lyrics

You see, I loved the stage and the talent was wage But I never got past the auditions When I got my first show, it was all in a row But it ended in an act of contrition Flowers you've had success while I've set up for less But you still cannot see that you're winning I had no curtain calls, very few thrills at all But today is a start, a beginning See, looking at you and the bullshit you do While the world is still here for your sin Yeah, you're sexy and fine and you charm all the time But I see now the strength that you're faking I don't care about your fears while I struggle for years Success was close but not for my taking I had no curtain calls, very few thrills at all But today is a start, a beginning No flowers for me but flowers you see Are always a sign that you're winning And I don't mind the flowers are fine Along the way you lose your dreams and raise your kids And I won't cry over dreams that I've got Like the youth I lost, always so much across Always so beautiful, take this in as you go Life makes it all bittersweet No flowers, no not this time, no more No flowers left by the backstage door And you can't get it back Which is fine, life's not over And I don't mind the flowers are fine Along the way you lose your dreams and raise your kids And I won't cry over dreams that I've got Like the youth I lost, always so much across Always so beautiful, take this in as you go Life makes it all bittersweet And I don't mind the flowers are fine Along the way you lose your dreams and raise your kids And I won't cry over dreams that I've got Like the youth I lost, always so much across Always so beautiful, take this in as you go Life makes it all bittersweet
