Tree Killer

You killed the sapling that I sent a little Christmas tree
My heart was never up for sale but you still took it from me
I am not known for my memory or for being honest
But I don't know how to lie to you so it's true I promise

That I would grow you an orchard I would plant you a garden
If you watered them with gasoline I'd still grant you pardon
You're a tree killer but you keep my heart intact
You hold my shoulders still when I'm a maniac

Boxed Water's better and I'd wager you use metal straws
So I'll forgive the murdered tree it's Christmas after all
My friends said that my voice gets softer when I talk to you
I like to think I'm punk but love transcends that's tried and true

I asked my dad and he said the sapling wasn't metaphorical
I hope he's right and that callous for green things isn't categorical

But I'd still grow you an orchard I would plant you a garden
If you watered them with gasoline I'd still grant you pardon
You're a tree killer but you help me fall asleep
I'd give you diamonds if I had them but my sweatshirt's yours to keep
