Tending a marvelous sunflower
But I see it's wilted in the leaves
Autumn is coming to a close now
The roots beginning to freeze
You spent half the year growing
As tall as the evergreens
While I spent most of mine knowing
You were detaching from me
I don't think I'll ever feel again
As I did inside the garden
I felt sheltered in the sun
Like I was where I belong
Well I'm used to being wrong
I'm sick of singing these songs after you're gone
And it's taken too long
I should be over this
I know I should be over it
Convinced myself I'm over it
But I know something's changed in me
I can't breathe
It's making me start to see
I don't think I'll ever feel again
As I did inside the garden
I felt sheltered in the sun
Like I was where I belong
Well I'm used to being wrong
I'm sick of singing these songs now that you're gone
Tell myself to just breathe for a moment
Remind myself that it's all in my head
You were my sunflower
I see there's wilting in your leaves
Autumn is coming to a close now
We're headed for a deep freeze
