[Verse 1]

Jaded now that we're sober

I was holding out for something I could keep

Oh love, I tried my best to shoulder it

I left thinking 'bout the ways that I was wrong

[Chorus]

What I wouldn't do

Separate the waters

Pull me in two

Abandon the garden

To get through to you

I'm finding out you're someone

I can't afford to lose

[Verse 2]

Shameless in my nature

Wanted to be everything you'd ever need

But the truth is I cannot keep my promises

Though I'll try to sew it up at the seams

[Chorus]

What I wouldn't do

Separate the waters

Pull me in two

Abandon the garden

To get through to you

'Cause I can hardly bear

To see you torn and used

A burden I can't ease

It purples like a bruise

If I could be your cure

It's all that I would choose

I'm finding out you're someone

I can't afford to lose

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

What I wouldn't do

Separate the waters

Pull me in two

Abandon the garden

To get through to you

I'm finding out you're someone

I can't afford to lose
