Lyrics David Usher

Secret Garden

So you hustle 'til the pain grows

Fighting 'til the needle calls

Always when the needle calls

So you hustle 'til the pain grows too strong

So you hustle 'til the pain grows

Fighting 'til the needle calls

Always when the needle calls

So you suffer 'til the pain goes too long

Left the city just to save myself

Headed west, looking for that ocean breeze

It's down in Santa Monica, where the wind blows strong

And the saltwater washes you clean

Walking through the dollar store

Aisle five, head down, daydream, looking up and there you are

Hey girl, what you doing out here?

It's been a long time now

Go for coffee then we talk, talk

Reminiscing talk, talk

On and on, all about the things we missed

But always just behind the smile

You've got the same sad eyes

In your secret garden

There is no one

Who gets the key to your heart

Your poison flowers survive for hours

But now they're tearing you up

And we all change

We all decay

When our hearts are broken down

Take a weekend, take a week

I'm falling fast, I'm falling deep

Here we go, it's just like it was before

No matter what I do, or what I say

You'll never let me in

You've been working out in Hollywood

Easy money, fucked up job, back on the street

We both know it's no good

But every night you're heading there

You've got the same sad eyes

In your secret garden

There is no one

Who gets the key to your heart

Your poison flowers survive for hours

But now they're tearing you up

And we all change

We all decay

When our hearts are broken

We find new ways to face the day

When our hearts are broken down

So cold, so sickly twisted, beautiful

And time will not be kind

Your cancer grows so deep inside of you

And I cannot rewind

In your secret garden

There is no one

Who gets the key to your heart

Your poison flowers survive for hours

But now they're tearing you up

And we all change

We all decay

When our hearts are broken

And find a way to face the day

When our hearts are broken

And we all change

We all decay

When our hearts are broken down

When our hearts are broken down

Where we all get broken
