  • I'm okay, I'm just late
    To accept my fate and carry on, on
    I don't know why I have these dreams
    I haven't seen you in so very long, long

    It's allowed to hurt, I'm allowed to burn
    I'm allowed to wonder what you're doing now
    And dig up all your dirt
    I'm allowed to beg, I'm allowed to scream
    I wish that you were in this room with me
    Instead of in my dreams
    With a bouquet of flowers
    You used to bring flowers
    You grew me flowers

    I guess two things can be true
    You loved me and you know I loved you, oh
    And I'm tryin' to remember
    That people make mistakes
    But that don't make it better

    It's allowed to hurt, I'm allowed to burn
    I wish you that you were in this room with me
    Instead of with her
    So that we could fight, so that you could cry
    So that we could have a funeral
    If this thing had to die
    I would've brought flowers
    I would lay flowers, lay flowers

    We been dying for days, to be free of these roots
    Forgot I could grow, outside the garden of you

    It's allowed to hurt, I'm allowed to burn
    I'm allowed to ask you what you're doing now
    And if you are with her
    I'm allowed to beg, I'm allowed to fight
    So I can get out of this darkness
    And get back into my light
    Where I can grow flowers, I can grow flowers (I will grow so high)
    I can grow my own flowers (I'll touch the sky above, the sky above)
    I can grow my own flowers, I grow my own flowers (I will grow so high)
    Grow my own flowers (I'll touch the sky above, the sky above)
    Yeah, I can grow flowers (I will grow so high, I'll touch the sky above, the sky above) Writer/s: Breanna Jacobsen, Elisabeth Maurus, Henry Brill
