You gave me fruit And took the light— Left me crying Through the night. Roses watched And said my name While silence taught That love was shame. I stayed in bloom But broke in grace, A holy wound You can’t replace.
Lyrics
I was barefoot In a blooming sin You gave me fruit With poison in You smiled like mercy Tasted like lies And I bloomed Just to die I built you heaven Out of ache And called it love For my own sake Crying in the garden of Eden With roses that know my name Tears in the soil of sweetness Beauty that bleeds the same You left me holy and broken With petals pressed to skin Crying in the garden of Eden Where love turned into sin The serpent whispered But you spoke first Told me longing Was a curse And still I kissed you Like a hymn Now I’m drowning Where love begins You took the light Then called it fate Left me here To decorate Crying in the garden of Eden With roses that know my name Tears in the soil of sweetness Beauty that bleeds the same You left me holy and broken With petals pressed to skin Crying in the garden of Eden Where love turned into sin Every fruit Has a price Every kiss A sacrifice I would’ve stayed If you had asked But Eden never Takes you back Crying in the garden of Eden With grace still in my bones You watched the flowers Turn to thorns And left me here alone I bloomed in shame But smelled like spring Crying in the garden of Eden With love that meant nothing
