🎼 Lyrics: “I Plant My Own”
You made up your mind
I’m not gonna go home and cry
Even though that’s what you thought I’d do
Funny how life goes on
Me and you will both move on
I’ll never say that I never loved you ‘cause
You used to be my plus one at boring weddings
Kiss me on the cheek when the sun was setting
Had our little spot, now I sit here all alone
Used to be my midnight talk for hours
Hold the umbrella in the summer showers
Used to be the one to bring me flowers
But now I plant my own, own, own, own, own, own
Guess it was my fault
Shouldn’t have put all
My happiness in your hand
But all of this has made things clearer
I see a stronger girl in the mirror
But that don’t mean it doesn’t make me sad
‘Cause you used to be my plus one at boring weddings
Kiss me on the cheek when the sun was setting
Had our little spot, now I sit here all alone
Used to be my midnight talk for hours
Hold the umbrella in the summer showers
Used to be the one to bring me flowers
But now I plant my own, own, own, own, own, own
I don’t even like roses
But I never would have told you that
If you ever come around again
You’ll find sunflowers out back
You used to be my plus one at boring weddings
Kiss me on the cheek when the sun was setting
Had our little spot, now I sit here all alone
Used to be my midnight talk for hours
Hold the umbrella in the summer showers
Used to be the one to bring me flowers
But now I plant my own, own, own, own, own, own
But now I plant my own, own, own, own, own, own
Now I plant my own
