Picked First

[Verse 1]

Took the first flight I could get home

Checked in to the front desk

Walked up to your floor

Shared a couple bites of cheesecake

Talked about the summers

We spent on your porch

[Pre-Chorus]

And you were tryin' not to cry for me

And I was tryin' not to cry for you

Yeah, you really, really were the best

But you left way too soon

[Chorus]

Oh, dear, I miss you all the time

I wish we'd never said goodbye

Like daisies in the dirt

The most beautiful flowers

Always get picked first

[Verse 2]

We were sittin' in the silence

Listenin' to voices over the TV

I was starin' out the window

Holdin' on to your hand

Didn't wanna leave

[Pre-Chorus]

You were tryin' not to cry for me (You were tryin' not to cry for me)

And I was tryin' not to cry for you (I was tryin' not to cry for you)

Yeah, you really, really were the best

But you left way too soon

[Chorus]

Oh, dear, I miss you all the time

I wish we'd never said goodbye

Like daisies in the dirt

The most beautiful flowers

Always get picked first

Oh, dear, you left me way too fast

I wish they saved the best for last

Like daisies in the dirt

The most beautiful flowers

Always get picked first

[Outro]

You were tryin' not to cry for me (You were tryin' not to cry for me), mm

And I was tryin' not to cry for you (I was tryin' not to cry for you)
