Secret Garden

(album: Wake Up And Say Goodbye - 2008)

So you hustle 'til the pain grows
Fighting 'til the needle calls
Always when the needle calls
So you hustle 'til the pain grows too strong
So you hustle 'til the pain grows
Fighting 'til the needle calls
Always when the needle calls
So you suffer 'til the pain goes too long

Left the city just to save myself
Headed west, looking for that ocean breeze
It's down in Santa Monica, where the wind blows strong
And the saltwater washes you clean
Walking through the dollar store
Aisle five, head down, daydream, looking up and there you are
Hey girl, what you doing out here?
It's been a long time now

Go for coffee then we talk, talk
Reminiscing talk, talk
On and on, all about the things we missed
But always just behind the smile
You've got the same sad eyes

In your secret garden
There is no one
Who gets the key to your heart
Your poison flowers survive for hours
But now they're tearing you up
And we all change
We all decay
When our hearts are broken down

Take a weekend, take a week
I'm falling fast, I'm falling deep
Here we go, it's just like it was before
No matter what I do, or what I say
You'll never let me in
You've been working out in Hollywood
Easy money, fucked up job, back on the street
We both know it's no good
But every night you're heading there
You've got the same sad eyes

In your secret garden
There is no one
Who gets the key to your heart
Your poison flowers survive for hours
But now they're tearing you up
And we all change
We all decay
When our hearts are broken
We find new ways to face the day
When our hearts are broken down

So cold, so sickly twisted, beautiful
And time will not be kind
Your cancer grows so deep inside of you
And I cannot rewind

In your secret garden
There is no one
Who gets the key to your heart
Your poison flowers survive for hours
But now they're tearing you up
And we all change
We all decay
When our hearts are broken
And find a way to face the day
When our hearts are broken
And we all change
We all decay
When our hearts are broken down
When our hearts are broken down
Where we all get broken
