Verse 1
Flowers planted upside down don't grow
Don't grow
Warnings placed inside your mind, don't go
Don't go
Water in a jar with holes will fall
Will fall
Shooting one of two people kills all
Kills us all
Chorus
Dragged under by the riptide
I think it's 'cause my flowers died
Drowning in all those lies
I told
I thought it safer to hide
But the flowers wanted to fight
Then someone opened my eyes
That night
The riptide opened my eyes tonight
Verse 2
Water plants with milk and they will die
They'll die
Let yourself believe in all the lies
Those lies
Take it long enough and finally you'll break
You'll break
Give up and you'll stay trapped inside this vase
In this vase
Chorus
Dragged under by the riptide
I think it's 'cause my flowers died
Drowning in all those lies
I told
I thought it safer to hide
But the flowers wanted to fight
Then someone opened my eyes
That night
The riptide opened my eyes tonight
Bridge
Oh no
It's a mistake
It was an accidental purpose
Oh no
We made a mistake
It will never be able to work
Oh no
It was a mistake
I didn't mean to make you hurt
Oh no
This is a mistake
You're going to make it worse
Chorus
Dragged under by the riptide
I think it's 'cause my flowers died
Drowning in all those lies
I told
I thought it safer to hide
But the flowers wanted to fight
Then someone opened my eyes
That night
The riptide opened my eyes tonight
