Rotten Fruit

We planted a tree out in the garden last spring
Wanted it to grow into a mighty oak, we just have to water the seeds
I was so glad, I couldn't wait to see what it would be
And you were happy to, we don't have anything to lose
But then the clouds came, at least we'd be getting some rain
But it never rained, and it'd just be cloudy every single day
And that's when I saw something change inside of you
I think you knew, that all we'd get was rotten fruit

I remember I called you when the tree first started to sprout
But you never came out
I guess you were just happier inside
And every now and then the sap would be looking dry
And we didn't want the tree to die
So we tried our best to keep the roots alive
I know you didn't wanna fail, I could see it in your eyes
I saw it in the way you cried
You were terrified of the things that you wanted to say
You tried to hide it, tried to tell me that those thoughts weren't true
But we both knew
We just didn't wanna taste the rotten fruit

Too many bad seeds in the- bad seeds in the- bad seeds in the ground-ground
Bad seeds in the ground-ground-ground-ground
Bad seeds in the ground
Bad seeds in the ground
Mama said watch who you keep around
There's no place for me now- now- now- now
Too many bad seeds in the- bad seeds in the- bad seeds in the ground-ground
Bad seeds in the ground-ground-ground-ground
Bad seeds in the ground
Bad seeds in the ground
Mama said watch who you keep around
There's no place for me now- now- now- now

I remember you called me
You said that you had to leave
How long will you be away
You just told me that I shouldn't wait
Well what about the tree, you know I can't just grow it alone
You said I should dig it up, and if I try again I should wait till I let you go

I planted a tree out in the garden last week
Wanted it grow into a mighty oak I just have to water seed
I was so glad, I couldn't wait to see what it would be
I think you'd be happy too, this time I'll make sure it grows some fruit
