The Garden Lyrics

Your gardener sprinkled bleach onto your roots

You shrivel at the touch of water

Your petals crinkle in the beating sun

But in the rain you cry"Why bother?"

You can't explain to him the world outside his perfect garden

And when he pulls your roots, he insists you beg his pardon

Try as he might, I'll hold tight, won't let him pull you back in

Your radiant beauty comes as no surprise

As you slowly leave the garden

Your once crinkled petals soft and lush

Your softened stem begins to harden

You can't explain to him the world outside his perfect garden

And when he pulls your roots, he insists you beg his pardon

Try as he might, I'll hold tight, won't let him pull you back in

Try as he might, I'll hold tight, won't let him pull you back in
