lyrics

Lily White, I tried to keep you
In a vase upon my mantle, but the glass is cracked
And all the water I pour in leaks out
Lily White, I tried and tried, but all my efforts were in vain
And I think that it's time I throw my Lily out into the rain

Now your roots are deep, with vines like ivy growing twisted in my mind
I pray it won't disrupt the soil when I reach within and pluck you out
And it's so like me to nurture flowers
Thinking them pretty and wild
Only to find I planted weeds that choke my garden out

In my mind’s eye I see you growing strong
In the place you say that you belong
And I should've known you never can keep something alive
When you cut it down... and take it inside

Lily White, I think I glamorized your melancholy meaning
I kind of “fell in like” with your commercial dark side
But you hated your association only with the mourning
You think that everybody forgot that you’re alive

It's so like me to nurture flowers
Thinking them pretty and wild
Only to find I planted weeds that choke my garden out

In my mind’s eye I see you growing strong
In the place you think that you belong
And I should've known you never can keep something alive
When you cut it down... and take it inside

Oh, I took you inside and I watched you die
