lyrics
In the garden of my making you were there,
In the garden of your making it was bare.
Could've known a bit earlier, but it's ok.
Yeah, I loved you later, but it's ok.
Better to love and lose than not love at all.
When I pull out old pictures of you,
probably not the best for me to do.
The time we almost died in that big ocean...
or when you taught me how to shovel snow.
Better to love and lose than not love at all.
So when the girl you're holding isn't me,
I hope you feel that all was meant to be.
I'm gonna love you a little longer, but it's ok.
I want the best for you and hope you're ok.
Better to love and lose than not love at all.
I'm grateful for you, yeah I loved it all.
Better to love and lose than not love at all.
