Fabulous Garden
Secrets Bloom in Silence
Lyrics
We never say what we should say
We avoid expressing what needs to be said.
I guess it's just the english way
It's a characteristic of English culture to withhold emotions or thoughts.
We talk about the weather
We engage in small talk about the weather.
Stay polite and fun together and
Maintain politeness and a facade of enjoyment when together.
It's true, you keep it in your heart and
Emotions are hidden within, not openly expressed.
If I gave you an inch for every time I was hurt
If I were compensated for every time I've been hurt.
I'd be pushing up daisies six feet under the dirt
The speaker would be deceased and buried.
And if you gave me a flower for every broken vow
If you rewarded me for each broken promise.
We'd have a fabulous garden by now
We would have an impressive garden filled with flowers.
We know what never must be said
We are aware of the unspoken truths.
And keep it locked inside our heads
These truths are kept locked in our minds.
The feelings understated
Emotions are downplayed and not fully expressed.
Overdosed and underrated
Feelings are both excessively experienced and underestimated.
It's true, you keep it in your heart and
Emotions are internalized and not outwardly shown.
If I gave you an inch for every time I was hurt
If compensation were given for every instance of being hurt.
I'd be pushing up daisies six feet under the dirt
The speaker would be buried and gone.
And if you gave me a flower for every broken vow
If rewarded for broken promises, a beautiful garden would grow.
We'd have a fabulous garden by now
Implies that broken vows are abundant, leading to a flourishing garden.
