Lay a couple of pretty flowers, that's what I brought 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 water's 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 the world
'Cause I ain't got no money, you'll never be my girl
I thought you should know
And 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 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 plead 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 the grave
And 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
That it was a rose
I thought you should know
A couple of pretty flowers
That's what I brought to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view
