lyrics

THE WEED IN YOUR GARDEN

You never planted the seed, but one day
I just started to grow,
Hiding my roots in between all the flowers
Where no one would know.
Soon I was everywhere you didn’t want me to be.
I am the weed in your garden of love;
You can’t kill me.

You gave the flowers the love and attention
that you had to give.
But you made it clear from the start that you don’t even
want me to live.
I’ve got a beauty inside that I want you to see.
I am the weed in your garden of love;
You can’t kill me.

You can’t kill me, no matter how you try.
No poisons can drive me away.
You can get on your knees and uproot me,
But I’ll grow back the very next day.

Soon when the weather gets cold
And the delicate flowers are gone.
I’ll still be here in the garden with you,
And that’s where I belong.
Some day I’ll reach for the sun
And grow tall as a tree.
I am the weed in your garden of love;
You can’t kill me.
I am the weed in your garden of love;
You can’t kill me.
You can’t kill me.
