How will you convince a man
that his own garden is beautiful
if he insists on
looking over the fence?

No one knows when you die,
No one knows when you cry,
And no one ever sees the tear in your eye
When you say your last goodbye.

It's sad but true
And I'd hate to give up on you,
But there's nothing left here
With all this manifested fear.

No one knows when you die,
No one knows when you cry,
And no one ever sees the tear in your eye
When you say your last goodbye.

My heart is ripped to shreds,
So I'll shut up and take these meds.
They'll numb the pain
For a girl with no more to gain.

So I'll close my eyes,
Say all my goodbyes,
And break all my ties
Because no one listens until somebody dies.
