"Flowers" lyrics - INDIA.ARIE

The world can be so cold but you are always warm
When my back is tight, you take me in your arms
You're the moral compass directing me to light
You're the golden glow in the middle of my night

[Pre-Hook 1:]
In recognition of the person that you are
In celebration of your heart

[Hook:]
That's why I wanna give you your flowers now
That's why I wanna give you your flowers now

You're the sacred in the face of the profane
You held the mirror up and helped me face the pain
Just like velvet covering my heart of glass
You're the reason I know that this, too, shall pass

[Pre-Hook 2:]
For the gorgeous human being that you are
For helping me accept my scars

[Hook:]
That's why I wanna give you your flowers now
That's why I wanna give you your flowers now

[Bridge:]
I hope that they brighten your life
The same way your smile brightens mine

[Interlude]

My world had blown away and you are all that's left
You took the needle from the center of my chest

[Pre-Hook 3:]
For the gorgeous human being that you are
For showing me I am a star

[Hook:]
That's why I wanna give you your flowers now
That's why I wanna give you your flowers now
