A couple of pretty flowers, that’s what I brought I to you
I saw you through a broken window, with a different point of view
You had signs of depression, from a long line of sin
And your face tells a story, ‘bout the places you have been, I love you so
I thought you should know
And that muddy waters flowin’, and as you take my hand
Past the creek down by the holler, through your daddy’s land
And I could buy you a diamond, but I cannot change your world
‘Cuz I ain't got no money, you’ll never be my girl… no
I thought you should know
You was gonna be a singer, and a big movie star
But you can’t catch no breaks baby, and Hollywood is hard
Now you work down at the Time Out, off of 155
And you’re dancing for your dollar, just tryin’ to stay alive, it hurts me so
I thought you should know
And You feed your addiction, with your crystal meth
And I plea for your life, as it takes you to your death
You make your deal with the devil, as your looks begin to fade
I saw you laughin’ through the tears, as you slowly slipped away, I watched you go
I thought you should know… yeah I watched you go… I thought you should know
And that cold rain is pourin’, as they lay you in a grave
I can barely recognize you, in your fragile state
No more signs of depression, from a long time ago
I throw in a pretty flower, as they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
I thought you should know… there it was a rose… I thought you should know
A couple of pretty flowers, that’s what I brought to you
