Garden of promises


Truth be told the flowers wilted in our garden stay on display Cant take them away And if youdve asked id probably tell you just what didn’t happen I have moved on from our scent of life And I hope that you find someone else to make you satisfied And in my heart I promise lots of things But I promise I’ll miss you Forever ago we were inseparable Only once in a lifetime love And they always say that to make it feel nice But once just means it was only one time And that time is over now So I’ll lie to myself deep down I have moved on from our scent of life And I hope that you find someone else to make you satisfied And in my heart I promise lots of things But I promise I’ll miss you I’ll miss you Like the petals that fell And I clung to false hope Hoping youd pull the rope And I wanted A place to be Some stability Not hotels in dodgy places Where u kept me hidden all day So I had to walk away And just tell myself I have moved on from our scent of life And I hope that you find someone else to make you satisfied And in my heart I promise lots of things But I promise I’ll miss you
