I'm like a can of sardines...
I stack nicely on the shelves
But when you open me up
I'm just another lil fish in pickle water,
And none of us want to be here,
Living in this tin can,
Waiting to be served up to the public,
Suffocated by your expectations and morality,
I'd rather be some diced up tuna mix
Than have you look into my eyes
And eat me cold and whole -
I swim down your throat and hope you choke.

She misses you
as much as I do,
we snuggle together
and wait for another day to pass...

Say the words
and smile at me
in that familiar way.

Come back here
to hold me
but not to stay.

Fill my thoughts
and dreams
every second of every day -

(I got it bad
and it won't stop
Whether I tell it to or not)

Just don't

Love me
and leave me
and say it'll be ok

Just don't

Promise me
forever
but not today -

Cause love never hurt so bad
or felt so right
and without you here,
baby, my future ain't so bright.

So just don't tell me
you love me
or that you'll be true
cause my heart can't take
the everyday truth.

I lay you down on my pillow,
And give you a kiss goodnight
And search for you in dreamland
In the garden of eternal life.

They say that love is pure,
They say that love is true,
And in the garden of eternal life
There's only me and you...

Others take love for granted
They're quick to toss it aside
But true love never fades,
It just gets stronger with time -
For I have died a thousand deaths
And lived a thousand more
And your arms that day I knew
T'was true love that we swore.

And all the others can play with love and never really know
That only in the garden, can true love really grow.
