I Grew My Own Garden

I didn't wait for spring
I made one

You left the room like winter
Slammed the blue out of the sky
I spent a month in silence
Letting old versions die
Then I bought a little shovel
Put the past beneath the clay
Funny how a buried heartbreak
Turns to roses anyway

I was waiting for your sorry
Waiting for the rain
Then I found a seed of mercy
With my own name

I grew my own garden (my own garden)
I watered my own soul
I turned your cold goodbye
Into something green and gold

Grow, grow (watch me bloom)
Grow, grow (in my own room)
Grow, grow (watch me bloom)
Green and gold
Grow, grow (watch me bloom)
Green and gold

I painted the kitchen yellow
Changed the sheets and cut my hair
Took your picture off the mirror
Put my future standing there
Now the friends I lost are calling
Now my laugh is coming back
I don't curse the storm that broke me
It taught my roots to act

I grew my own garden (my own garden)
I watered my own soul
I turned your cold goodbye
Into something green and gold

It's been a year, the yard's a jungle
Roses climbed up past the gate
I don't need a sun to live now
I'm the season I'm in

I grew my own garden (my own garden)
I stopped begging at your door
I turned your cold goodbye
Into something green and gold

Watch me bloom
I grew my own garden
