How beautiful you've made yourself   How cruel you've become   How so much like another   That it's no surprise   That I don't recognize you now so   Beautiful and cruel      You're the meanest flower      You raise me off the ground   To see how far there is to fall   As if I don't remember   How we passed the time   As if I don't remember how   Your face fell into mine      Oh, you're the meanest flower      Notice how I vanish   And your world remains   You show your head above it   For spite, nothing more   Like you thought just living   Was somehow its own reward      You're the meanest flower
