THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS
AMY'S GARDENS
the lessons that we learn
from beginning to ending
the world has to turn
and while everything changes
what doesn't change is true
in dreams we hide desires
in me I'm hiding you
on the day before we met
I felt a deep emptiness
even as I acted as if
I didn't have a care in the world
on the day after you left
I felt a deeper emptiness
and no act could comfort me
I knew I had lost my whole world
all the time in between was perfection
as paradise settled in my heart
you were everything I always wanted
as if the hinges of time came apart
there was no before or after
there was only the time we shared
and I can still remember the moment
I believed you cared as much as I cared
now I stare at all the empty spaces
now I drag myself through my routine
going through the motions of the living
but nothing seems to matter
do you know what I mean?
the story doesn't change much
the lessons that we learn
from beginning to ending
the world has to turn
and while everything changes
what doesn't change is true
in dreams we hide desires
in me I'm hiding you
In Me (I'm Hiding You)
