Someone told you once you weren't enough

Said it so much it finally stuck

Everything that makes you beautiful, it must have dulled their shine

Everything they threw away, you thought you had to hide

Slowly excavating artifacts

Brushing dirt away and filling cracks

Planting flowers deep within your rich and hallowed ground

Where someone else did not know how

That's other people's problems now

Someone called you a disappointment

Messed up so many times you can't avoid it

You bare your open heart and then apologize

I love unraveling the patterns in your eyes

Slowly excavating artifacts

Brushing dirt away and filling cracks

Planting flowers deep within your rich and hallowed ground

That someone's wishing they had found

That's other people's problems now

Someone said my feelings didn't count

I learned to not get hurt by shutting down

And ghosts of love gone by, they always meant the end

Everything I thought I knew, I have to think again

Slowly excavating artifacts

Brushing dirt away and filling cracks

You're planting flowers deep within my rich and hallowed ground

Where love could not get in or out

That's other people's problems now
