   The song is about the feelings you experience when having to move on from a relationship. The singer finds himself lost ("what is this place?"), and reflects through the first verse about the simplicity and somewhat disillusioning reality of how easily people fall in and out of love. Realizing he messed up, he tries to understand and find a way to make amends.
   
   However, the chorus shows that despite his efforts, he wakes up alone now. He longs for the sense of belonging he used to have in his significant other ("I want to see your face and know I've made it home.") He acknowledges he has done all he can, but he is still "painting flowers," aka is still in love with, the other person.
   
   The second verse reflects on how opening up in a relationship can hurt you if it goes wrong. The singer tries to open up his eyes, hoping it has all been a nightmare, but again, the chorus assures that this is his new reality. The bridge tells us that while he heard his significant other's reasons for leaving, the singer feels like he's going insane without them by his side; the final chorus emphasizes how frustrated, tired, and hurt he is without them there any longer.
   
   He repeats that he is still painting flowers for them several times before the song ends, reminding us that feelings of affection still linger long after things change.

   This song is about a person and he/she (lets just call them a he) is lost and confused because he has showed how in love he is with this girl but she just can't seem to love him in return, they are not happy together but the guy can't seem to understand what he did to have her not love him. He really wants to be with her, despite that he is not gaining love in return. But, he is still in love with her that he still tries to please her and win her over (this is symbolized by the lyrics "i am still painting flowers for you"). Because he is still painting her pretty pictures of flowers he is showing her that he still cares about her.
   This song is kinda tragic and sweet
