Story Behind The Song
This is a song about a relationship that was once great but has become a little jaded. When the love was strong all it took was an apology and a simple gesture like a bunch of flowers to forgive each other but something deeper is wrong. It is asking whether the couple could or should continue to stay together.
Song Description

Lyrics
V1:
From the moment that I saw your face
I thought we'd be together for all time
but now it seems like we have lost all trace
Of these feelings with no reason or rhyme
Chorus:
I don't buy you flowers no more 'cause they don't work
I don't buy you flowers no more 'cause they don't work
I don't buy you flowers no more 'cause they don't work
and I don't buy you flowers no more 'cause they don't work
V2:
These days it seems like we have lost all course
No longer hand in hand but all alone we walk
and we need to , try to, get back to the source
Decide whether to drift apart or sit down and talk
Chorus
V3:
Ooh our love it used to seem so right
It was effortless - we never needed to try
We never argued and we never needed to fight
For the sake of our love which we believed would never die.
Middle eight:
Should I stay or should I go?
Can you face another day?
Oh you've got to let me know.
Should we carry on or let it slip away
Chorus
