Garden Rose Lyrics

I'll never stop a bullet but a bullet might stop me
I'll never drink the ocean but the ocean might drink me
And I'll never raise a portrait to a gentle man in blue
And I'll never sing a love song for a love that isn't true
I love how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose

And I'll never sweep the alley though the alley might be clean
And I'll never be for countries though I one day might be mean
And I'll never be the master of a fortune with a name
And I'll never know the difference though I might just know the same
I love how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose

So I started to remember how to live in present time
But I wanted to remember how it was when you were mine
And I'll never know the reason or season or the time
Why we couldn't live together with out a daily crime
I love how how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose
I love the how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Almost eerily brooding. Pretty. My favorite line is "i'll never sing a love song for a love that isn't true."

i love how she compares the time to a season to really display how she feels she has no real grasp of time- beautiful, beautiful song
