Here’s the thing: I really am the center of my universe I had to make someone else the center of it for a small while to realize that nobody can ever be more important to me Than me Because when he left He took the stars He took the moons All the planets He took the galaxies and sunsets He took the sun He took my wonder My curiosity My trust I loved to look up I loved to admire the world I was always a fierce believer in everything happening for a reason But he turned me against the goodness of existence because he turned me against myself And I let him But I’m so glad I’m so glad weak men know their place is not next to me I’m so glad I know not to apologize for my strength But they weren’t scared of me because I was strong They were scared of me because I could see them I could see all their flaws because I had become so familiar with my own Instead of living in fear of imperfection, I embraced what couldn’t be changed and changed what could be It takes real strength to look at yourself beneath a microscope (Scope) To reject the ego To choose to grow Growth is subtle And with every heartache, I planted a seed In no time, I grew a garden It’s massive It’s self-aware It refuses to be contained It doesn’t mind a little rain, but it’s not impervious to hurricanes It’s a real monster I can’t control anything I can’t control the weather I can’t control the seasons and how harsh they decide to be I can’t really even control my garden But I’m okay with that Because my garden is resilient It does not whither when it’s yelled at, nor does it take things personally It does not expect anything from anyone and it knows when it’s outgrown others My garden is beautiful Heroic Observant It knows its worth (Worth) It’s a fighter (Fighter) And it will not stop growing Or hide behind a wall because its grandeur might offend insecure man My garden does not bloom in spite of them My garden blooms despite them

It’s okay to cry on your couch all day tf you need to I know you feel guilty not getting up for hours But you don’t need to I know you wanna go back over it Like you missed something you know you didn’t And you wanna keep running to your best friends to talk about the same shit It’s okay They’re not sick of it ‘Cause you’re just hopeless, trying to hold onto moments that they all keep telling you to forget And now you’re sobbing because they don’t fucking get it It doesn’t make a difference The universe without him (Oh) (Oh) But I know that eventually the stars’ll come back to me The sun’s gonna set one day And it’ll look pretty I know it’s gotta hurt right now And I’ll only hate suburbia until the golden hour comes back to me Come back to me Come back to me It’s okay to cry in your car on the way to a party And if you need to leave ‘cause you’re not ready to face anybody (Don’t be sorry) (Don’t be sorry) You came out wearing your best dress Nobody cares if you’re on the phone in the backyard (No, nobody cares) Telling your mom, “I can’t do this “I’m so sick to my stomach” It’s okay At least you’re trying To go out and do the things you did before him To fill all the space that he was taking up And now all you feel is so much fucking nothing And nothing makes a difference in a universe without him (Oh) (Oh) But I know that eventually (Eventually) the stars’ll come back to me (They’ll come back to me) The sun’s gonna set one day And it’ll look pretty I know it’s gotta hurt right now (Yeah) And I’ll only hate suburbia (Yeah) until the golden hour comes back to me And it’ll look pretty until the golden hour comes back to me I found myself in a universe without him

I don’t know when but at some point, while I was crying my eyes out on the couch I said to myself, “That’s the last time I sacrifice my peace for someone else That’s the last time I buy clothes to look good for someone who’s not me That’s the last time I stay up when I wanna go to sleep just so I can unlock the door and count down the minutes until he leaves and I become nothing” “That’s the last time I make someone else my everything My reason to be And that’s the last time I dish out chances like they grow on trees That’s the last time I make excuses and blame his stupidity” You can be cruel and stupid You can be evil and naïve “That’s the last time I say, ‘He didn’t mean it because he’s ignorant’ That’s the last time I make someone else’s actions about me” He did what he did and he pretended like he didn’t And that was the worst part: The Indifference I was humiliated texting him over and over again like, “How could you not get it? How could you love me one minute and watch them hurt me like you didn’t?” And that’s where it started My Garden It began with a heartache It began with me I grew a garden as the darkness consumed me And before the sun came up it was already blooming

It's gotta get worse before it can get better I just wanna move on but I can't ‘Cause it's gotta get worse before it can get better And I hope someday I'll stop looking back I'm mad at you for doing this to me I'm mad at you for breaking everything But I'll never stop loving you And I'll never stop hating you And I'll never stop hoping that you will come to your senses But I'll never stop loving you And I'll never stop hating you If you need me I'll be singing the blues and growing my garden I bloomed Nothing blooms quite like a heartache I bloomed Nothing blooms quite like a heartache You gotta plant the seeds before the flowers start growing (Flowers start growing) But sometimes it's dark and the seasons are bad And it's okay to be sad (Ooo) It's okay to lay your head down and cry amongst the roses ‘Cause sometimes I just can't help it I'm mad at you for doing this to me I'm mad at you for breaking everything But I'll never stop loving you And I'll never stop hating you And I'll never stop hoping that you will come to your senses But I'll never stop loving you And I'll never stop hating you If you need me I'll be singing the blues and growing my garden I bloomed Nothing blooms quite like a heartache I bloomed Nothing blooms quite like a heartache I know It hurts like hell and you wanna run away from it Or you're running right back to him But, cry it out You're in the best damn place to grow like a garden without him (Ooo) But I'll never stop loving you (But I'll never stop loving you) And I'll never stop hating you (And I'll never stop hating you) And I'll never stop hoping that you will come to your senses (Never come to your senses) But I'll never stop loving you And I'll never stop hating you (Stop hating you) And I'll never stop hoping that you will come to your senses But I'll never stop loving you And I'll never stop hating you If you need me I'll be singing the blues and growing my garden (Growing my garden) (But I'll never stop) But I'll never stop loving you (I'll never stop loving you) And I'll never stop hating you (I'll never stop hating you) If you need me I'll be singing the blues and growing my garden I bloomed Nothing blooms quite like a heartache I bloomed Nothing blooms quite like a heartache

It’s crazy We all base our worth on things we can’t control I can’t control how many people stream my music or how much money I make But I can control how hard I work and whether or not I do my best And even then I’m so hard on myself because the numbers I want just aren’t there And then I decide I’m not good enough My work sucks My post got less than a hundred likes on Instagram, so I ain’t shit It’s so stupid My art is valuable so long as I see the value in it I am valuable so long as I see the value in myself Nobody else can give me that Just me (Brad Pitt) (Crazy) (Our girl, Rihanna) (Lady Gaga) (Jennifer Anniston) (Jennifer Anniston)
