Kira Rae - Pressed Flowers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late nights with your journal spread wide
Memories slipped between pages I can't hide
Petals pressed against pristine white
Like fragments of us I'm trying to keep alive
Your scent still lingers on my mind
Just like those roses we left behind

[Pre-Chorus]
But baby, these flowers gonna fade
No matter how perfect they're laid
Time's gonna do what it does
Breaking down everything we touch

[Chorus]
I'm pressing flowers between the sheets
Of all our stories incomplete
Trying to hold onto something sweet
But even perfect moments bleed
Like watercolors running free
These pressed flowers ain't meant to be

[Verse 2]
Grandma's old book filled with her dreams
Caribbean whispers and faded leaves
I'm such a fool to think I could keep
Every moment bottled up so neat
Your love letters turning brown
Like autumn leaves falling down

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the pain
Of watching memories slowly fade away
But damn, I can't help myself
Still placing petals on these shelves
Trying to make forever stay

[Chorus]
I'm pressing flowers between the sheets
Of all our stories incomplete
Trying to hold onto something sweet
But even perfect moments bleed
Like watercolors running free
These pressed flowers ain't meant to be

[Outro]
Let the petals crumble, let them fall
Maybe that's the sweetest part of all
When memories dance like dust
In sunlight streaming through us
Baby, that's enough, that's enough
