My body, my bones, and all that I am
My blood in my veins, my feet in the sand
Waiting for the tide to come and take us in
Waiting for a time when we can try again

My mind and my heart don't tell the truth
They bicker and they fight, it's all that they do
And they yell so loudly
I can't hear anything else

I could be a flower
I could be a tree
I would become anything
As long as it's not me
I could be a garden
Or I could just be dirt
But I will become anything
So I don't have to hurt

I made a list of things I wish I never had
Pass them on to someone better
I hope you understand
That I am not worthy of your kindness or your love
So watch me as I'm born again, rising high above
Ground

I could be a flower
I could be a tree
I would become anything
As long as it's not me
I could be a garden
Or I could just be dirt
But I will become anything
So I don't have to hurt

Tears fall down my face
As I drive my
Broken fingernails
Through your words
And I'm biting down on shards of glass
You said you found inside my shattered
Heart, but I'm not made
For life in this big world
So I will wait

Until I am a flower
Until I am a tree
Until I become anything
As long as it's not me
Until I am a garden
Or until I'm just dirt
But I will become anything
So I don't have to hurt

I could be a flower
I could be a tree
I will become everything
Everything but me
I could be your garden
So I could hear your words
Long after I'm dead and gone
Buried in the dirt
