My secret garden′s Not so secret anymore Run from the past Holding my head in my hands Feeling dejected Feeling like a child might feel
It all seems so absurd That this should have occurred My very only secret And I had to go and leak it My secret garden′s Not so secret anymore No, my secret garden′s Not so secret anymore
Run through the fields Down to the edge of the water Can′t stay long Here comes the reason why She′ll catch me if she can And take me by the hand I′ll have to keep on running And I just can′t see the fun in My secret garden Not being secret Anymore
It used to be so easy on days such as these She′d search and search for hours In among the flowers
I loved it I loved her Play the fool; act so cruel (I loved it) Read a book; take a look (I loved her)
It all seems so absurd That this should have occurred My very only secret And I had to go and leak it My secret garden′s Not so secret anymore
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
