maudlin of the well - girl with a watering can lyrics
i squandered my youth for a wither’d (bitter) hour;
all i ever wanted was a simple you.
real love is dying for a phantasy.
i held all of heaven dead in my arms,
and in one moment, i knew all of h-ll.
nothing but a body, naked, beaten,
the wreck of a soul, amidst th-rns bleeding.
bitterness is all god hath created;
a proud king among the failures of dreams.
i believe one love could be worth a life,
for life i would have burn’d myself away–
for nothing, life hath left me burning alone.
girl, know that time leaves dust on my scars;
when the moment has p-ss’d, thousands will die.
i will remember when ghosts were mighty,
and i will laugh and catch my own tears.
in a perfect garden, all flowers flourish,
in this real garden, my flower knows thirst.
i don’t think i can lift my face to the sun again.
i don’t think i can look at your face again
and feel.
you were my everything, and you took
it all away.
