Love Is a Garden

sitting here lately
thinking about us maybe
taking a break was a good thing
we were just children
following a feeling
not knowing love could
wither away
looking back it passed so softly
but coming strangers we could not see
just tired of fighting tired of hanging on
but now that you're gone
i can see
love is a garden if you let it go
it fades away before you know
love is a garden it needs help to grow
ours is starving but there's still hope
come on baby let me feed you on kisses
come on baby let's make up for what we've been missing
come on baby, baby come home
being with each other
soon we discover
just how trying it could be
you'd stay up all night
and you'd say i was uptight
and soon we were only fighting
looking back from this side now
i cannot help but wonder how
i thought it was you who was always wrong
but now i see
love is a garden if you let it go
it fades away before you know
love is a garden it needs help to grow
ours is starving but there's still hope
come on baby let me feed you on kisses
come on baby let's make up for what we've been missing
come on baby, baby come home
tough job, broke car, mean boss
and now mom's all squeezed like weeds
that get in the way when you're gone
and i'm here
a missing you dear
we took a break
what a mistake
what we needed to do
was just make some room for me and you
cause i can see
love is a garden if you let it go
it fades away before you know
love is a garden it needs help to grow
ours is starving but there's still hope
come on baby let me feed you on kisses
come on baby let's make up for what we've been missing
come on baby let's just throw away our old cell phones
let's just stay in bed
let's just stay home
come on baby, baby come home
sitting here lately
think about us maybe
taking a break was a bad thing
