I'm sittin' here lately
Thinkin' about us, maybe
Taking a break was a good thing
We were just children
Following a feeling
Not knowing love could wither away

Looking back it passed so softly
But common strangers we could not see
Just tired of fighting, tired of hanging on
But now that you're gone
I can see that...

Love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden, it needs help to grow
Ours is starving, but there's still hope
Come on baby, let me feed you on kisses
Come on baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on baby
Baby, come home

Being with each other
Soon we discovered just how tryin' it could be
You'd stay up  all night
And you'd say I was uptight
And soon we were only fighting

But looking back from this side now
I cannot help but wonder how
I thought it was you who was always wrong
But now I see, that

Love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden, it needs help to grow
Ours is starving, but there's still hope
Come on baby, let me feed you on kisses
Come on baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on baby
Baby, come home

Well tough job, broken car, mean boss
And our moms all squeeze like weeds
They get in the way
When I'm holding you near, missing you dear
We took a break
What a mistake
What we needed to do was just make some room
For me and you
Cause I can see, that

Love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden, it needs help to grow
Ours is starving, but there's still hope
Come on baby, let me feed you on kisses
Come on baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on baby
Baby, come home

I'm sittin' here lately
Thinking ‘bout us maybe
Taking a break was a bad thing
