The tree is dying
the trunk won't stand
the seeds multiplying
to take root in a new land
the lake is dry now
where we would play
and no one cares to be there for the one that got away
lets climb to the top of the tree
on the weakest branch
you and me
it's time to give up on the dream
drop to the ground
where we should be
the change was subtle
the distance grew
from what you wanted to be to the things you had to prove
but I'll still be here
because it's ok
and everyone can still blame the one that got away
i don't have the strength to stop it
i only have the mind to know
you've gone too far down that dark road
and i've gone too far to save you
i won't let you bring me down
but look for me i'll be around
