Rotten Roots
Say it to me one more time
Tell it to me softly
All those hollow words that I once knew
You tell yourself you're just the same
You'll never change
In a way it's true
You tell yourself it's someone else's fight now
But if I'm free now, why does it still hurt?
The bittersweetness of our days was fleeting
I grew up
And now it's worse
The bridges that we built now lay in ruins
Every plan we made is one more scar
I'm back to where I started
But look what I've become
You kicked me while I was down and hopeless
You cursed the very ground we used to walk
I thought that time would undermine the heaviness I knew
But lies outrun the ticking of the clock
It's hard to heal
It's hard to grow
With rotten roots
And rotten love don't have no seeds to sow
Tell it to me softly
All those hollow words that I once knew
You tell yourself you're just the same
You'll never change
In a way it's true
You tell yourself it's someone else's fight now
But if I'm free now, why does it still hurt?
The bittersweetness of our days was fleeting
I grew up
And now it's worse
The bridges that we built now lay in ruins
Every plan we made is one more scar
I'm back to where I started
But look what I've become
You kicked me while I was down and hopeless
You cursed the very ground we used to walk
I thought that time would undermine the heaviness I knew
But lies outrun the ticking of the clock
It's hard to heal
It's hard to grow
With rotten roots
And rotten love don't have no seeds to sow
