watering can

it wasn't that i didn't wanna hold your hand

i just knew if we held tight once

we would ever let go

it wasn't that i didn't want to call you mine

but - you're not mine

and

it wasn't that you didn't make me happy

because

my dear

you made me so happy

but

the happiness that we shared wasn't meant for us as a pair

oh

no

as our hearts heal up and we walk barefoot through all the settled stardust

let us

let go of all that we are not

and

as our minds - they will clear up - and we know that we are not to love

let us stop

let us stop - tilting the watering can over the soil that holds us now

because

we were never meant to grow

it wasn't that i didn't ever write you notes

i was always just to scared to send them through the post

the truth that they entailed

stopped them from being stamped and mailed

oh

it wasn't that i didn't write you notes

as our hearts heal up and we walk barefoot through all the settled stardust

let us

let go of all that we are not

and

as our minds - they will clear up - and we know that we are not to love

let us stop

let us stop - tilting the watering can over the soil that holds us now

because

we were never meant to grow
