Ghost in the Garden Lyrics

Don't cross the line

Don't wound me with your words again

Don't throw it away

Just so you can say

I finally got what I'd deserved

That's no way to talk, when I—

I held you as my cherished kin

And all the mistakes that we both made

Could never erase the love we shared

'Cause I can't escape from under

When every day is another reminder

It's only your ghost I hear in the garden

Haunting my heart with the death of our partnership

We played the part

You knew from the start

That we had finally reached the end

Don't cross the line

Don't lash me with your lies again

That stress you felt

Kept draggin' you down

Till you couldn't see

It was me you bleed

That's no way to leave, when I—

I loved you as my deathbed friend

So, wherever you go

Don't go it alone

Lean on E and the promise of spring

But I can't escape from under

When every day is another reminder

It's only your ghost I hear in the garden

Haunting my heart with the death of our partnership

We played the part

You knew from the start

That you could finally breathe again

Sever the tie, if what you need is

To prove you were right, and I was wrong

Under a spell, until it seems

The bond that we'd built was broken all along

I'll pass on the putdowns, there is nothing

I'm dying to say designed to cut you down

Sever the ties, if all you seek is

To prove to yourself: it was my fault

It wasn't my fault

And it wasn't your fault

It wasn't our fault

It was nobody's fault
