broken window serenade

a couple of pretty flowers

is 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

as you take my hand

past the creek down by the holler

through your daddies land

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 no

i thought you should know

you was gonna be a singer

or be a movie star

but you cant 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

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

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

yeah it was a rose

i thought you should know

a couple of pretty flowers is what i brought to you

i saw you through a broken window

with a different point of view.
