Verse 1:

 I have seen your body / And I have seen your beauty
 They are separate things / Pretty, pretty, pretty things
 But I am in a garden / Tending to my own
 So what do I care / And what do you care if I grow?
 If I grow

Verse 2:

 Think of all the wilted women / Who crane their necks to reach a window
 Ripping all their petals off just 'cause / "He loves me now, he loves me not"

Hook: (Hit the first note harder, the rest are very quiet)

 I myself was a wilted woman
 Drowsy in a dark room
 Forgot my roots
 Now watch me bloom

Bridge:

 And I will not compare / Other beauty to mine
 And I will not become / A thorn in my own side
 And I will not return / To where I once was
 Well, I can break through the earth / Come out soft and wild
