Gardener

[verse 1]

Would it be sweeter

On the other side

Where the grass is greener

But its not alive

Hang me in the corner if that's what you want

Water me forever while you block the sun

Convincing yourself you’re doing everything right

[Chorus]

And it's not looking like the odds are on our side

Flooding up roots until it's clear

That you’re not much of a gardener in this life

But you can always try again next year

Maybe try again next year

[verse 2]

No display

Could ever satisfy

Use me to decorate

Pretending everythings alright

Should be thriving in the summer like an out-stretched palm

But I'm wilting underneath with the damage done

Can't be a green thumb if it's only been painted bright

[Chorus]

And it's not looking like the odds are on our side

Flooding up my roots til it's clear

That you're not much of a gardener in this life

But you can always try again next year

[post-Chorus]

I know you know better

Than to keep on

Digging up hurt ripping all my leaves off

We don't have to resort to upheaval

To fix what’s wrong

[bridge]

Yeah I pushed through

I’m still alive

Under harsh conditions

Barely survived

Don't owe it to you

Spare me the lies

All the growing i did was only out of spite

Was only out of spite

Yeah

[Chorus]

And it’s not looking like the odds are our side

Flooding up my roots and it's clear

That you're not much of a gardener in this life

But you can always try again next year

[post-Chorus]

I know you know better than to keep on

Digging up hurt rippin all my leaves off

We don't have to resort to upheaval

To fix what’s wrong
