Edelweiss

Edelweiss

I'm sure you've fogotten all the things
We used to do together under the sun
I'm sure you've forgotten how to sing
Our favorite melody we used to hum

I know you've moved on and I am
Only a mere speck in your history
I'm sure you forgot I'm a human
And I remember the day you left me


I'm sure wealth is more important to you
Than the love that we had shared
I'm sure you assume I've forgotten you
But deep down you know I'm still there

But just like the rare Edelweiss
You cut and picked and teared down
I go through all the pain and lies
I do it all for you since then till now

I'm sure your happy with your life
And your wife, 2 daughters and a son
I'm sure you have told him a lie
And didn't tell him he is the odd one

You didn't tell him I'm his father
But I'm sure he's fine with that
Because just like you he won't bother
And won't even give a damn

But just like the wilting Edelweiss
I will stand firm through this pain
I've made a big sacrifice
That I hope you appreciate

I loved you, and I took care of you
But you forgot me just like you
Forget to water the Edelweiss
That sat on your windowsill and died

The Edelweiss I gave you
To remind you of what we used to be
To tell you the truth
I'm really not happy

But I do it for you.
