[Verse 1]
In homage to my past
I don't let go easy
So I can't understand what you mean
When you say you're leaving completely
But I'll cut these ties that bind me to the morning light
I'll swallow these pills in hopes that I'll sleep tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but you don't know, but you don't know
What you leave until you're gone
But you don't know, but you don't know
What you have until it's gone forever

[Chorus]
I lost my heart in Manchester, oh
So tell me what you think about flowers
Blooming in a foreign garden
Chances are you've already forgotten
Chances are you've already lost them
Watch what you wish for often
Take me back to Manchester

[Verse 2]
Brief, these moments that pass us by
We don't cherish them
We just live our lives

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but you don't know, but you don't know
What you leave until you're gone
But you don't know, but you don't know
What you have until it's gone forever

[Chorus]
I lost my heart in Manchester, oh
I lost my heart in Manchester, oh
So tell me what you think about flowers
Blooming in a foreign garden
Chances are you've already forgotten
Chances are you've already lost them
Watch what you wish for often
Take me back to Manchester
Blooming in a foreign garden
Chances are you've already forgotten
Chances are you've already lost them
Watch what you wish for often
Take me back to Manchester

[Bridge]
They never love you 'til you're gone
But it's really just as well
I'll never mend this broken heart until I love myself

[Chorus]
So tell me what you think about flowers
Blooming in a foreign garden
Chances are you've already forgotten
Chances are you've already lost them
Watch what you wish for often
Take me back to Manchester

[Outro]
Blooming in a foreign garden
Chances are you've already forgotten
Chances are you've already lost them
Watch what you wish for often
Take me back to Manchester
