Don't Smell The Flowers

April showers bring me pain
May flowers do much the same
You walked in with your bouquet
It should have been the perfect day
Ten years on the story starts
Bent wedding bands and broken hearts
You left home to find yourself
Left your bouquet on the kitchen shelf
Don't smell the flowers
Though they may seem pretty and sweet
Life's already hard
So leave those roses in the yard
Don't stop
And don't smell the flowers
My grandma on my mother's side
Seemed like she would never die
But when Jesus turns his street lights on
Then it's time to go back home
Lilacs, lilies, dust and death
Are things that make me hold my breath
The smell of that old funeral home
Made me feel so all alone
Don't smell the flowers
Though they may seem pretty and sweet
Life's already hard
So leave those roses in the yard
Don't stop
And don't smell the flowers
Don't smell the flowers
Though they may seem pretty and sweet
Life's already hard
So leave those roses in the yard
Don't stop
And don't smell the flowers
And don't stop
And don't smell the flowers
