She was barely blooming
I remember her laugh
Before someone tore
her petals off
And took her smile away
Someone tore
her petals off
And took her love away
Eyes open, can't feel,
She's bare and torn
She picked her colour up
off the ground
And held it to her
Picked her colour up
off the ground
And held it to her
Who's gonna love her
She can't stay
Who's going to find her
It's so dark
Sit down in the moss
With a needle and thread
She sewed her petals on
And she sewed her petals up
And she was far away
Safe and sad inside
Who's gonna to find her
Close and far
Who's gonna to find her
Sun has set again
She was older
When she finally cried
It was she who let the rain in
To let her water flow
Inside her shell
I hear her laugh again
Who gets to love her
She's so strong
Who gets to love her
Feel her smile
Who gets to love her
