Locked away in a chest
With a piece of her heart
Buried underneath a mess
Lies a man who's torn apart
Ignorance is bliss
And you didn't want to know
That flowers cannot live
Without sunshine, water, and a home
The garden is dead
Toy soldier and me
Were just playing pretend
A butterfly's wings
Flutter in the wind
Then somewhere a lady sings
A requiem for what could've been
The garden is dead
Toy soldier and me
Were just playing pretend
Eve was made from Adam
But she was the one who roamed
So if you find her on your path
You best keep on going
You best keep on going
You best keep on going
She's better off alone
Keep on going
And let it be so
The garden is dead
Toy soldier and me
Were just playing pretend
