Planting Flowers

You promised me roses
When you came around
There was nothing but weeds here
Growing out of the ground

Ive given you this
And Ive given you that
Im givin all my love to
Someone who wont give it back

Im planting flowers on a gravel road
Waiting on a bloom
Trying to make a garden grow
Where nothing ever grew

I give you my attention
I keep you from the cold
But I might as well be planting
Flowers on a gravel road

Well, this just aint working
That much I know
If I didnt love you
I could just let it go

So when you feel like trying
And talking to me
Go to the rock and the hard place
'Cause thats where Ill be

Planting flowers on a gravel road
And waiting on a bloom
Trying to make a garden grow
Where nothing ever grew

And I give you my attention
I keep you from the cold
But I might as well be planting
Flowers on a gravel road

I dont know whats sadder
Fact you dont care
Or the fact of the matter
That Im getting nowhere

Running in circles
And chasing your heart
I cant seem to stop now
Why did I ever start?

Planting flowers on a gravel road
Waiting on a bloom
Trying to make a garden grow
Where nothing ever grew

And I give you my attention
I keep you from the cold
But I might as well be planting
Flowers on a gravel road
Oh, I might as well be planting
Flowers on a gravel road
