Intro

 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

Break

 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

Break

 And that cold rain is pourin’, as they lower 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

Break

 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
