She’s Not A Flower

She's not a flower
She isn't growing in your garden today
You'll never cultivate her anyway

You're not a king bee
You like honey and you're packing a sting
But there really isn't such a thing

You're in flight, and she smells all right
But she's not a flower

She's not an ocean
That you're an island in the middle of
And there isn't any prison of love

You're not a free bird
Hey you, up on that mountain peak
Can't you hear what's coming outta your beak?

You can say you'll fly away
But you're not a free bird

Love's not a poison
You better find a better reason why
You feel like you wanna die

A broke heart won't kill you
You might suffer 'til the end of your days
But that was gonna happen anyways

Even if the love you mourn
Is equal to the love you scorn
And fortune mocks the love you gave
And someone lays her on your grave
She's not a flower
