The roses in our garden Are watered with tears, and not rain The roses in our garden Are blossomed by my sorrows and my pain
I don’t know how they got here And I don’t know if they’ll ever leave All I know is that they thrive best When I lay by their roots to grieve
Their beauty mocks my suffering And their petals reflect my sorrow It seems they take away my joy They hope to steal, not borrow
They feed off my flowing river A river, not short of supply For as long as we stay together This river will never run dry
Our garden is our relationship This superficial, dying flame Maintaining this garden kills me I can no longer keep it tame
Don’t ever trust a pretty garden For it takes sacrifice to make it that way It drains life to keep it red and pink And it’s a price I’m not willing to pay
