You said you were in love I know just what that meant Behind this awful mask I wear A story then begins I know it's nothing personal But could you be the one Who saves me from my bleeding heart And keeps me from falling down?
You said she is the one I know she really is I think I saw her on that day When I almost cut my wrist I know you're beaming bright As I'm turning my back now 'Cause all that I had thought 'bout you All turned to dust and clouds.
You said that I am strong enough Does that give me a choice? When all that I have hoped for Withered like an ugly rose If we get to see each other again And ask me how it's been I'll flash a smile, "It was all worthwhile, You see, I'm evergreen."
In this poem, EVERGREEN was used metaphorically to refer to someone who remains perennially fresh, interesting, enduring or self-renewed.
