The Gardener & The Tree
A Million Words
Led my heart into the night
I know it was a millions times that
That I was lost inside my head
And didn't know which way I was to go
A need for time alone

Rules I told myself to mind
I now it took a millions tries
To loosen up and really show that
I wasn't just the man you thought you owned
Wasn't all just flesh and bones

Days were I was broken down
I know there were a million ways to light a fire
In this heart of mine
But I let it be and ended up astray
Was the worst I ever did

I don't need forgiveness on a day like this
Give me you rejection and the time to miss
A million different words that I could have said
But I just keep 'em quiet cause I know it's sad

Back out in the time apart
I never thought it'd come this far
But I was back where I started from
With the wooden doors and no windows to the road
When we wanted to get old
Every time I went away I thought about you night and day
I was caught in a rusted cage that I got myself when I was young at age
You always thought it strange

The things I said brought you to tears
I never meant to do you harm
What I really do regret
Where the times I didn't say
And the things I never did

I don't need forgiveness on a day like this
Give me you rejection and the time to miss
A million different words that I could have said
But I just keep 'em quiet cause I know it's sad

Thought [?] found[?] millions words to lift you up
And make me whole
You stayed
You stayed

Every time I fight the night
I feel the best would be to just let go
Let go

Throw away those broken things
And take your time as[?]
[?] again
I really hope you do
She said "Take you heart, your millions words
And all my love
Cause I won't be yours again
[?]"

And I might miss those days
Those million times I hold you close
And I hoped you stayed forever
I really thought you would

And we should save our souls
Our hearts of gold
And live our lives as our parents told us, so
It's time to say goodbye
