Couldn't let you love me, had to put it in the soil
Buried it and gave you to the night
Didn't see it growing, then you wrapped me in it's leaves
Just in time for us to be torn asunder

How long can we go on with just the remnants?
Not fit to build a shelter, but I'm trying all the same

Couldn't let you love me, now I've put that in the soil
Buried it and mourned into the night:
"Such a beautiful heart!
Such a beautiful soul!
Lead me to your house!
Lead me to your home!"

How long can we go on with just the remnants?
Not fit to build a shelter, but I'm trying all the same

I've lain beside you
You've made me content
It was always fleeting

Couldn't let you love me, now I've put that in the soil
Buried all the times that I was hesitant
