Connor McCutcheon - Keep These Flowers Lyrics

Red long stem roses
Cause that's her favorite kind
The shops on the corner
But I'd never stepped a foot inside
Till last weekend we had an all night come to Jesus
That's when she said she was thinkin bout leavin


Why's it take one foot out the door
To see what I should've been fighting for
Why's it take a white flag in the kitchen
To finally shut up and just listen
I know It's a long shot
Tryna get goodbye out her eyes
But maybe we'll survive
If I can keep these flowers alive


I'll pay more attention
Ain't perfect but I'm learning
And I Ain't afraid to get my heart and my hands a little dirty
I don't want the red in these pedals
To turn into your right foot down on the pedal


Why's it take one foot out the door
To see what I should've been fighting for
Why's it take a white flag in the kitchen
To finally shut up and just listen
I know It's a long shot
Tryna get goodbye out of her eyes
But maybe we'll survive
If I can keep these flowers alive


Oh alive


Reasons to leave
You've got at least dozen
But I'm begging you to stay,
And that's gotta count for something


Why's it take one foot out the door
To see what I should've been fighting for
Why's it take a white flag in the kitchen
To finally shut up and just listen
I know It's a long shot
Tryna get goodbye out her eyes
But maybe we'll survive
If I can keep these flowers alive
Oh alive
If I can keep these flowers alive
