[Chorus]

Sometimes things don't work out

Sometimes flowers never sprout

The garden bed is dead

But the soil it'll mend

The dreams of colours are still there

Next spring, they'll bloom elsewhere

Dreams of pollen are so hard to remove

Can't picture anything else when I picture you

[Verse 1]

I gave my all to this

Even though you dismissed

I was stupid to persist

But you knew i couldn't resist

Always thought you were forver

If I got through the bad weather

If I waited long enough

You wouldn't act so tough

Maybe you'd let me in

And let me be your him

But you never trusted me

Wasn't smart to enough see

You never let me in

When I backed you up with everything

Even though there'd never be more

I still thought you saw me a little tall

What was it that I see

When your eye catches me

And though I wanna talk

I can't because I'll always have those thoughts

Always see you as the best

When you see me as something less

Those 'non believers' were right

In the end you just weren't right

[Chorus]

Sometimes things don't work out

Sometimes flowers never sprout

The garden bed is dead

But the soil it'll mend

The dreams of colours are still there

Next spring, they'll bloom elsewhere

Dreams of pollen are so hard to remove

Can't picture anything else when I picture you

[Verse 2]

You're still a flower

Always see you bright

Laughing and smiling

And showing off your fight

I'll never replace that

And I wouldn't want to

Cause i can't picture anything else

When I picture you

I see those times

Breaking all the rules

And ignoring the signs

The stuff I lost

When I tossed

What had died

When i wasn't satisfied

And you're too mature to say

How you feel to this day

So we'll stand their awkwardly

Knowing where we'd rather be

But it doesn't make me sad

Or even mad

I'm content

No resentment

The seeds still in my pocket

Not taken out of the docket

I say i'd hate the thought

I say you make me distraught

I know that's not the case

But it's still there just in case

I hope the garden bed ain't dead

Maybe it'll mend

I hope the garden bed ain't dead

Maybe it'll mend
