[Verse 1]
We were young and I just couldn't let you
17, I was under a spell I know oh, so well
Like a map on the back of my hand
That you held when you promised we'd be one again
We'd be one again
[Chorus 1]
In the garden where I met you
In the green grass where I let you
Let you love me like you used to
But Aphrodite, yeah, she let me down
Oh, she let me down
[Verse 2]
Now's the time to explore something I will regret
Empty bottle and bodies I'm bound to forget
And I knew from the moment I laid hands on you
Red flags were just waving against the blue skies
Red flags, blue skies
[Chorus 2]
In the garden where I met you
In the green grass where I let you
Let you love me like you used to
But Aphrodite, yeah, she let me down
In the garden where I met you
In the green grass where I let you
It was so wrong, under moonlight
But Aphrodite, yeah, she let me down
Oh, she let me down
[Bridge]
Miles away from the human that I once was
Separated from everything I once thought
I'm brand new, so brand new
Now I see you more than feel you
But I still feel you
[Chorus 2]
In the garden where I met you
In the green grass where I let you
Let you love me like you used to
But Aphrodite, yeah, she let me down
In the garden where I met you
In the green grass where I let you
It was all wrong, but you felt right
But Aphrodite, yeah, she let me down
Oh, she let me down
