MELLOW YELLOW - Tears of a Petal

Water flowing down a petal just like tears are for down people
When I'm at funeral water dripping down inside steeples
I can see the sorrow in they eyes but I don't know who died
Invited because my dad was speaking I do not know why
I am not affiliated I might have that reinstated
I don't want association with these people in my region
They be crying like lil' children maybe that is what they doing
Maybe to bring back some memories so that they will not lose them
Memories memories forgetting who the centerpiece
Memories memories losing their identity
Trashing all the bad ones and displaying all your good ones
I call that loss of humanity a second man of me, ooh
Putting on your best self does that mean never show when you hurt
Listen to these words I'm saying they prolly grow from the dirt
Even flowers cry when they hurt they don't tell no lies, look
One over there looks like it's drooping to the side that's you, hurt

Read my Bible everyday, that's what mama told me
Pray to God four a day, that's what mama told me
You just got to tough it out, that's what hunga said to me
Listen to my sermons, that's what daddy said to me
He will solve your problems but that don't mean it will go away
For those times when he does not, that is when I cry away
Yellow turns to orange and then orange turns to blue
Put the fire out and then it makes a stronger glue

Petals are too drenched, ooh
Maybe it just sweat, ooh
Yeah it hella wet, ooh
I can barely move, ooh
I just need a sec, ooh
Soak up all the juice, ooh
You cannot replace, ooh
Feelings with that loot, ooh

Tears are flowing down my petals it be like I'm made of metal
Water be just slipping off it's like I'm losing grip of mentals
Crossed out all the names of people who had done rejected me
What's the point of loving them if they ain't really loving me
Maybe I'm just selfish or maybe I'm just skeptical
Maybe I don't like them or maybe I'm delusional
Maybe I'm just lusting or maybe I ain't loving or
Maybe I'm just wishing for someone who I adore
I think I still care about them even if no love for me
I'm still waiting for that day when tears can come out finally
Stories of a man who never cried and he was so depressed
That's what happens when you hold it inside and it's such a mess
What you talking 'bout, huh, boy just let it out, uh
Longer that you hold it in the longer you will have your drought
Sakura petals or petals of a sunflower
Believe me when I say it the tears that you cry have much power

Read my Bible everyday, that's what mama told me
Pray to God four a day, that's what mama told me
You just got to tough it out, that's what hunga said to me
Listen to my sermons, that's daddy said to me
He will solve your problems but that don't mean it will go away
For those times when he does not, that is when I cry away
Yellow turns to orange and then orange turns to blue
Put the fire out and then it makes a stronger glue

Petals are too drenched, ooh
Maybe it just sweat, ooh
Yeah it hella wet, ooh
I can barely move, ooh
I just need a sec, ooh
Soak up all the juice, ooh
You cannot replace, ooh
Feelings with that loot, ooh
