garden of loss

about

to everyone i hurt, and everyone that hurt me, and everyone who continues to stand by my side as i continue to grow.

lyrics

Red roses used to grow in my back garden
Their petals fell under the tree when I was young
Now thorns are wrapped around my heart
And bitter love’s a form of art
Red roses used to grow in memories unsung

Sunflowers used to grow along the fence-side
Their stems would stand so tall and waver in the breeze,
Now every petal’s gone and died
In an autumnal suicide
Sunflowers used to grow beneath the swaying trees

Leave me, if you will
Sign the papers with your quill
Just like flowers people grow and people wilt and die
I won’t be sitting on your bed
And when I close my eyes you’re still in my head
You left a mark on my soul

I thought that love was found in empty bottles
Having your lips on mine could never taste so sweet
The toxic memories remain
But I can push them from my brain
I thought that love could be remembered in a Tweet

Leave me, if you will
Sign the papers with your quill
Just like flowers people grow and people wilt and die
I won’t be sitting on your bed
And when I close my eyes you’re still in my head
You left a mark on my soul

I wonder if the world can see I’m changing
Will they be looking down and laughing at me
If all is lost, I won’t be found
There’s no point having them around
I wonder if the world can finally see me

Leave me, if you will
Sign the papers with your quill
Just like flowers people grow and people wilt and die
I won’t be sitting on your bed
And when I close my eyes you’re still in my head
You left a mark on my soul
