I paint the walls the perfect color*
Then you go and tear them down
My garden of love blooms with all its wonder
Then you go and dig it out
Well what can I say?
You keep bringing the grey
And you're making it hard to see clear
It's been dark for so long
And I'm ready for sun
You are no longer welcome here
You say you're sorry but I know
Given the chance you'd do it again
So take your promises and go
You can't love what you can't control
I'm building these walls just to keep you away
Then you go and tear them down
Well what can I say?
You keep bringing the grey
And I don't want you around
You say you're sorry but I know
Given the chance you'd do it again
So take your promises and go
You can't love what you can't control
(You can't love {4x})
Well the grass is greener
On the other side, it's true
And there's just no more room
For me and you
Don't say you're sorry when I go
You had your chance, you did it again
So take your promises and go
You can't love what you can't control
You say you're sorry but I know
Given the chance you'd do it again
So take your promises and go
You can't love what you can't control (2x)
Well the grass is greener
On the other side it's true
And there's just no more room
For me and you
