It never rains but it pours
Do keep the wolf from the door
I see you sitting in silence
Outside my house
Quiet as a mouse
I tried to buy you roses but all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
You said to have and to hold
Do let me in from the cold
I see you sitting in silence
Inside your house
Quiet as a mouse
I tried to buy you roses but all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
And this could be life as we know it
How can I see if you never show it
I tried to buy you roses
But all the stores were closed
I tried to buy you roses but all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
Who knows
Who knows

I believe its time for me to be famous,
and out of place.
A believe its time for me to move for forward,
When I break through.

This time I'll make you,
Proud to see me over, come all day life.
Proud of, who you raised.
Your shelter, your peacefulness.

So this time I'll make you proud.

Proud of, who you raised up.
You know that I will,
Always be here till' the end.

Come back so I can say thank you for this,
Home cooked meals and a place to rest,
My troubled head when youre away,
I've passed the test, I've earned an A,
Not just in school, but in life,
You'll always be right by my side.
To help me show, hope to all,
That are lost and sick in this dying world.
I'll use the love you left behind,
I'll change their minds, I'll change their minds.

I hope, I hope you smile,
when you look down on me.
I hope you smile.

This can't, we won't know.
I hope that I make you proud.

This is not what it is, only baby scars.
We need your love like a boy needs his mother's side.

This is not what it is, only baby scars.
I need your love like a boy needs his mother's side
