The Tree

Nobody pushing, a swing and a tree
I swing back and forth, feel the wind brushing me
The sun breaks the shadows, I swing from the tree
I'm one with the clouds, Like a bird I'm free

The boys on the bus, they're laughing at me
I hide my emotions so they won't know how I feel
I'm building a wall, to keep the mean words away
Incasing my heart, a brick day by day

And I know now that it won't hold
At least that's what I've been told
And I know now that it won't hold
At least that's what I've been told

Asking the boy in the mirror
Are you what they say
Not getting any clearer
Are you who they say
I'm searching, not getting any wiser
Are you twisted
Have you lost it
It can't be this way

Broken down over time, memories passing by
Missing the day under the tree I would fly
The night is my friend, I know it's melody
The dark plays a tune that awakens me

The boys on the bus, they're laughing at me
They're drowning in drinks, in the bottles I flee
The wall that I've built is crumbling down
A drink at a time, bricks scatter around

And I knew it wouldn't hold
Because that's what I've been told
And I knew it wouldn't hold
Because that's what I've been told

Asking the boy in the mirror
Are you what they say
Not getting any clearer
Are you who they say
I'm searching, not getting any wiser
Are you twisted
Have you lost it
It can't be this way
It can't be this way

(It cannot be)
(Can't be like this)
Can't be this way
(like this)
It can't be this way
(like this)
It can't be
It can't be this way

Nobody pushing, a rope and a tree
I swing back and forth, the wind passing me
The night casting shadows, I swing from the tree
I'm one with the dark, like a bird I'm free
