Mean Flower — текст песни (Joe Henry)

How beautiful youve made yourself

How cruel youve become,

How so much like another

That its no surprise

That I dont recognize you now so

Beautiful and cruel



Youre the meanest flower



You raise me off the ground

To see how far there is to fall,

As if I dont remember

How we passed the time,

As if I dont remember how

Your face fell into mine



Oh, youre the meanest flower



Notice how I vanish

And your world remains,

You show your head above it

For spite, nothing more,

Like you thought just living

Was somehow its own reward



Youre the meanest flower
