Reflections
Home Grown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reflecting on what we once shared
Now I know how much you really cared
You cared for me

I never did appreciate
The sacrifices that you made 
You made for our love
for our love 

[Chorus]
I know that you deserve
More than I could ever offer
But I can't change who I am

And if you knew what was in store
Why did you persevere and endure
As long as you did
For our love 

[Chorus]

All the words I left unsaid
I can't seem to get out of my head,
my head
Believe me
I meant you no harm,
no harm
I'm sorry

Reflecting on what we once shared




Now I know much you really cared
You cared for our love
