Watering Can

It wasn't that I didn't want to hold your hand
I just knew if we held tight once, we would never let go
It wasn't that I didn't want to call you mine
But you are not mine

And it wasn't that you didn't make me happy
Because, my dear, you made me so happy
But the happiness that we shared
Wasn't meant for us as a pair
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no

And as our hearts heal up
And we walk barefoot through all the settled stardust
Let us let go of all that we are not
And as our minds, they will clear up
And we know that we are not to love
Let us stop, let us stop
Tilting the watering can over the soil that holds us now
'Cause we were never meant to grow

It wasn't that I didn't ever write you notes
I was always just too scared to send them through the post
The truth that they entailed
Stopped them from being stamped and mailed
Oh, it wasn't that I didn't write you notes

And as our hearts heal up
And we walk barefoot through all the settled stardust
Let us let go of all that we are not
And as our minds, they will clear up
And we know that we are not to love
Let us stop, let us stop
Tilting the watering can over the soil that holds us now
'Cause we were never meant to grow
