I got the prettiest rose in the garden
And If Momma were here she'd say don't water it too often
But I did every day I filled it love and I filled it with hate
And The thorns grew sharp and the petals started to fade
Just like you I showered you in love too long
Just like you I poured it to heavy to strong like I always do
I wish I coulda been better for you
But I did but I did but I did what I always do
And I've been thinking and you know that's never any good
Maybe I should do some leavin let ya have some space like I should
But all I do is lay awake at night thinking of your pretty brown eyes
And hate myself for letting somthin like this die
Just like you I showered you in love too long
Just like you I poured it to heavy to strong like I always do
I wish I coulda been better for you
But I did but I did but I did what I always do
I did what I always do
I shoulda quit I shoulda slowed down
Held on to you and not hold you around
Let you go find your new ground
And came to you when you called me to town
Oh But i let the prettiest rose I ever had go and die
Just like you I showered you in love too long
Just like you i poured it to heavy to strong
Just like you I showered you in love too long
Just like you I poured it to heavy to strong like I always do
I wish I coulda been better for you
But I did but I did but I did what I always do
I did what I always do
