[Verse 1] We met in whispers, hands and thread You worked below, my world was red They said your name like it was sin But I let all their warnings in [Verse 2] They took you far, they took your breath Their silver knives, your quiet death I searched the woods, I dug the ground And found you where no heart should sound [Chorus] Now basil grows where sorrow spills A garden fed by dreams and wills They said let go, I said not yet I water grief, I can’t forget And though the world would call me mad You were the only love I had [Verse 3] I keep your voice inside the soil Your name in tears, your soul in toil Each night I speak, and though it’s still Your ghost leans in, and time stands still [Pre-Chorus] They carved your fate in cold regret But I will mourn what they forget [Chorus] Now basil grows where sorrow spills A garden fed by dreams and wills They said let go, I said not yet I water grief, I can’t forget And though the world would call me mad You were the only love I had [Bridge – soft and spectral] A pot of earth, a heart inside A promise no grave can divide My tears are roots, my love is bloom This garden is our waiting room [Final Chorus – fragile, fading] Now basil grows, and I remain A girl who walks with love and pain You sleep beneath, and I above A broken world that once knew love
