The Tree

lyrics

You got the last word
It's what you wanted
Because, I'm too old and dim
to know not when
to offer the good I come with
And, you've seen to
put it all on me
Kind of shines a light on
how effectively
you delve out all your misery

And, I was so upset
I went to walking in the snow
The sky was concrete gray, and
my fingers and toes were cold
But, I couldn't get lost
I had seen it all before
The only difference now was
getting it out seemed
like a fucking chore

I'll see you babe
just not tonight
when I run out of my excuses
I'll drink your whiskey like it's mine

I put a lot of effort
in the things that I believe
When I made you cry
I could have died
I should have offered you my sleeve
But, I didn't do that
It'd take too much out of me
I might be weak like a blade of grass
but I'm stubborn as a tree

And, I remember
I remember being young
I remember guarding my heart
with the sharp edge of my tongue
With all those words, now
All of those things, now
All of those prayers I tucked inside
the folded part of me now
