Ten days, it feels like ten days
since I was blindsided by a bitter surprise.
How could I ever begin to forget
those flowers that bloomed in the night.

For one night?
Is that right?
Surely I could just keep moving along.
But for one night
should I fight?
Could it hurt to have fun once in a while?

It took me by surprise, opened up my eyes,
making me see you from a different point of view.
I wanted you, my heart born anew,
but you don't seem to see me in that light.

And that's fine.
It was one night.
And it's so soon,
what could I do?
But I'd be damned if you didn't fly me to the moon.

This sour sucker burns my tongue
as the air is leaving out my lungs.
Watching you turn away
I'm in dismay, left in this place.
Why can't I say
that I just want you here?
With me, for me,
we could be happy.
So why is this just a dying memory?

It felt like ten days,
was it a mistake?
The night never felt so quite.
With you that was all I wanted.
Has it been ten days?
I feel like a sour sucker
unraveled for. You.
