This folk song tells a bittersweet story of a love that grows only in one heart, exploring the pain of seeing the beloved happy with someone else, all set against a backdrop of gentle, acoustic melancholy.
[Verse 1]
I planted a seed, a hope in the ground
For a love that I dreamt would surely be found
Watered it daily with wishes untold
Watched it unfurl as the days grew old
[Chorus]
But my one-sided bloom, it reached for the sun
While your gaze wandered, when the day was done
A beautiful flower, with roots in my chest
But your garden was elsewhere, and I was just blessed
To watch it from afar, a silent, sad guest.
[Verse 2]
I saw you dance with another's sweet hand
A melody played across the whole land
My heart, it withered, a quiet, slow fade
For the promise of love that was never quite made
[Chorus]
And my one-sided bloom, it reached for the sun
While your gaze wandered, when the day was done
A beautiful flower, with roots in my chest
But your garden was elsewhere, and I was just blessed
To watch it from afar, a silent, sad guest.
[Bridge]
The breeze brings your laughter, a cruel, gentle sound
Reminding my spirit of what can't be found
Just the ghost of a touch, a whisper, a dream
A current of longing against the whole stream
[Chorus]
Oh, my one-sided bloom, it reached for the sun
While your gaze wandered, when the day was done
A beautiful flower, with roots in my chest
But your garden was elsewhere, and I was just blessed
To watch it from afar, a silent, sad guest.
[Outro]
Still it blooms, in the dark, where nobody sees
Carried on whispers, by the lonely, cold breeze.
