Trees II - McCafferty

The word tragic means a lot to me

I got bullied a lot as a teen

I know the cut and I know how to bleed

You’ll never know how much it means to me

My mommy said that god sees everything

He knows I’m good and I just want to be

Friends with these kids who are so mean to me

Why can’t you all be nice to me?

Cute guy, nice face

Wrong time, wrong place

I knew in a matter of a minute

His face was smashed

His skin was burnt

His shirt was torn in the dirt

I know a ghost

Good friend bad host

Parents found out

Cell phone left out

Bullies get bullied

Cycle repeating

Bullies get bullied

Cycle repeating

So count

So count me out

So please don’t leave

I need you more than you need me

You’re beautiful and smart and kind

While I am ugly full of lies

Like you and me were always safe

I ran I ran the fuck away

Like I could be grown up some day

God dammit god dammit I’m sorry

God dammit god dammit god dammit I’m sorry

God dammit god dammit god dammit I’m sorry

God dammit god dammit god dammit I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I’m sorry

And I can’t be with you anymore

I can’t live like this anymore

I can’t hold your heart anymore

I need you to go on without me

You’re always drunk alone with your best friends

I’m always stuck alone with my repressed thoughts

With my repressed thoughts

With my repressed thoughts

With my repressed thoughts

I thought I thought

That evil was young

The devil was old

And winter was hot

While summer was cold

But I was so backwards in my thoughts

And I was so backwards in my heart

And I was so stuck in a fucking rut

It took so much fucking guts

To walk away

To end that pain

To leave my home

To break those chains

And I was so backwards in my thoughts

And I was so backwards in my heart

And I was so backwards in my thoughts

And I was so backwards in my heart

And I was so stuck in a fucking rut
