Last week I was passing by
And I couldn't help to notice
All these little butterflies
Hanging by the roses
Lying next to the flowers
Was a picture of a man
It turned out he had passed away
After a little crash
Now he's flowers by the roadside
Where he's gone but not forgotten
You'll remember his name and how he lived his life
So he's flowers by the roadside
Yeah some people might miss him
But you gotta move on from what had happened here
It occurs mostly everyday
Whether they're big or small
Some people lose their lives
Whilst others will stand tall
I guess that you dont realise
What its like for time to pause
It tears apart those hidden scars
And you're anxious without a cause
Now these flowers by the roadside
Where they're gone but not forgotten
You'll remember their name and how they lived their lives
So these flowers by the roadside
Yeah everyone will miss them
But you gotta move on from what had happened here
