Hey, I'm growin' a bed of roses Bitter grapes make the sweetest wine The holes I'm diggin' are just seeds I'm sowin' For my bed of roses, where I'm sleepin' just fine I'm sleepin' just fine He said he couldn't put roots down Tears fell on fertile ground And now, little does he know I've been sittin' here watchin' 'em grow I burned his letters and memories Spread ashes on the seeds And now they're reachin' towards the sky About broken heart high Hey, I'm growin' a bed of roses Bitter grapes make the sweetest wine The holes I'm diggin' are just seeds I'm sowin' For my bed of roses, where I'm sleepin' just fine I'm sleepin' just fine Just when I'd given up, given in That sun came 'round the bend And it's been shinin' on the spot Where he said he loved me not Life ain't a garden of Eden Takes time, tillin' and weedin' To help you heal yourself Get a little dirt under your nails Hell, I'm growin' a bed of roses Bitter grapes make the sweetest wine The holes I'm diggin' are just seeds and dreams I'm sowin' For my bed of roses, where I'm sleepin' just fine I'm sleepin' just fine Woo-ooh, ooh, ooh Woo-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Mm Aw, come on (Hey, I'm growin') (Ooh) (Hey, hey, I'm growin') (Ooh) (Hey, I'm growin') (Hey, hey, I'm growin') Woo-ooh, ooh, ooh Woo-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Mm
