She wakes up before sunrise
And wipes the sleep out of her eyes
Fingers brush her swollen face
Remembers how it got that way
She saw the guilt there in his eyes
And asked the things he couldn't hide
Wants him to leave wants him to stay
How did love end up this way
She wonders what became of trust
The flame that died in each of us
She wants to finish what she started
She counts the flowers in her garden
A yellow moon is out tonight
It's giving her her only light
She thinks about the hand he raised
And all his claims that he would change
Then they got down on their knees
And prayed to God to help them please
But when the night had come and gone
He had forgotten he was wrong
She slips into the morning grey
Knows she can't go on this way
As she leaves she hopes to find
The little girl she lost inside
She wonders what became of trust
The flame that died in each of us
She can't finish what she started
She counts the flowers in her garden
She can't finish what they started
She counts the flowers in her garden
