If you need a reason why I'm walkin' away

Well, I've got a dozen and you brought bouquets

Every time you messed up, got mad and got mean

They don't work like they used to on me.

Daisies won't make me give a damn

And tulips won't dry up these tears

Now roses are tried and they're true but I'm through

Forgivin' you for all of the times

You put me through hell, kept me cryin' for hours

I'll keep my last name and you can keep the flowers.

Every new promise is a new one to break

Soon after comes sorry and a note on a vase

They show up and they bloom for five or six days

It's funny how you do the same.

Daisies won't make me give a damn

And tulips won't dry up these tears

Now roses are tried and they're true but I'm through

Forgivin' you for all of the times

You put me through hell, kept me cryin' for hours

I'll keep my last name and you can keep the flowers.

Keep the flowers, keep me in the back of your mind

Hope that the next girl don't mind a damn garden inside.

But daisies won't make me give a damn

And tulips won't dry up these tears

Now roses are tried and they're true but I'm through

Forgivin' you for all of the times

You put me through hell, kept me cryin' for hours

I'll keep my last name and you can keep the flowers.

Honey, just keep the flowers

Keep the flowers.
