girl with a watering can

• bath albümünden masumiyetin parçalandığı bir maudlin of the well şarkısı.
  
  i squandered my youth for a wither'd (bitter) hour;
  all i ever wanted was a simple you.
  real love is dying for a phantasy.
  
  i held all of heaven dead in my arms,
  and in one moment, i knew all of hell.
  
  nothing but a body, naked, beaten,
  the wreck of a soul, amidst thorns bleeding.
  bitterness is all god hath created;
  a proud king among the failures of dreams.
  
  i believe one love could be worth a life,
  for life i would have burn'd myself away--
  for nothing, life hath left me burning alone.
  
  girl, know that time leaves dust on my scars;
  when the moment has pass'd, thousands will die.
  i will remember when ghosts were mighty,
  and i will laugh and catch my own tears.
  
  in a perfect garden, all flowers flourish,
  in this real garden, my flower knows thirst.
  i don't think i can lift my face to the sun again.
  i don't think i can look at your face again
  and feel.
  you were my everything, and you took
  it all away.
