THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)

you won't break my spirit no matter how hard you try
especially now that I know how well you can lie
you're powerless in fact cuz I can laugh at you
and you can do your worst, nothing more can get through

my heart is a garden
and you always knew
there was never a gate
but now it's closed to you...

so go play your games with someone else
there's nobody here who wants you now
in the end you'll be left to play with yourself
cuz you don't want to love
you'd rather use than love
but if you ever want to love
maybe someday you'll let yourself learn how

my heart is a garden
made of love's beauty
there was never a lock
and you'll never have the key

you won't get you way with me anymore
I won't play so you can never win
in the end you'll be left feeling insecure
cuz you don't want to love
you'd rather use than love
you are too afraid of love
to ever have a chance it might begin

my heart is a garden
fertile and true
there was always more room
but there's no room for you

so go do your act for somebody new
there's always come new fool who doesn't know
in the end you'll be left on the stage alone
cuz you don't want to love
you'd rather use than love
you're too afraid of love
to take the chance you'd have to let it go
you're too afraid of love
to care to nurture it so it will grow

my heart is a garden
and you always knew
the love will never end
but there's no more for you

you won't corrupt my ideals no matter how much you try
behind your plastic smile I see your evil eye
your manipulations have no effect on me
you've become meaningless, I have been set free
