THE GARDEN Video (MV)

I clipped the weeds so we can grow
It's clear the garden is getting old
Should I keep the seeds we sowed?
Or should I burn the leaves and let it all go?
I'm getting good at saying "goodbye"
You'd be the first in line to prove that I was right
But sometimes you gotta let a good thing die
When you know it can't survive
Well, I'm sorry that you tried but couldn't save it
And I'm sorry that your love couldn't change it
Wear the armor, play the part
And watch me slowly fade away
Because the garden just can't last another day
The second hand falls out of place
I'm pretending that your presence isn't growing in my brain
Chasing butterflies away
When they only just remind me of your face
3 long years of rage
As if you were the one to blame
I let my delusions hide the pain
But it still hurts me just the same
As when I left you in the rain
A lot was lost without much gain
Sometimes I wish I stayed
It's the hardest when I know I can't escape you
And believe me when I say I tried to change the truth
Well, the armor played its part
Until I watched you slip away
I think I may have made a big mistake
The flowers that we planted have turned to gray
And the garden that we grew has decayed
