This song is about a douche-bag who almost ruined my life. Guess she's "just somebody that I used to know" now. (quote, Gotye)
lyrics
Garden
By, Nate Rylan
You can read about what it's like to feel
If I studied long enough I might find
The vaguest notion of what you really mean to me but
You're the only one who knows
How to make a garden grow
You're the only one stands
In the face of my demands
You bring out my energy
You do it very patiently
And even when I run away
I love you more the next day
Somewhere far away
Somewhere somebody's heart breaks today
Wasn't instantly, but now I see
Oh everybody near me puts a mask on when I come around but
You're the only one who knows
How to make a garden grow
You're the only one stands
In the face of my demands
You bring out my energy
You do it very patiently
And even when I run away
I love you more the next day
Things unsaid make us dead
Things we say make today
Things we do make things new
So I tell you that
You're the only one who knows
How to make a garden grow
You're the only one stands
In the face of my demands
You bring out my energy
You do it very patiently
And even when I run away
I love you more the next day
