Plain White T's - The giving tree lyrics

rate me

All the leaves on the giving tree have fallen

No shade to crawl in, underneath

I’ve got scars from the pocket knife where you carved

Your heart, into me

If all you wanted was love

Why would you use me up?

Cut me down, build a boat and sail away

When all I wanted to be

Was your giving tree

Settle down, build a home and make you happy

I lay in the dead of night

And I've wondered, who’s covers

You’re between

And its sad laying in his bed you feel hollow

So you crawl home, back to me

If all you wanted was love

Why would you use me up?

Cut me down, build a boat and sail away

When all I wanted to be

Was your giving tree

Settle down, build a home and make you happy

Well I see a trail that starts

A line of broken hearts behind you

That lead you back to me

The one sad and lonely fool

With nothing left but roots to show?

(ooooo)

If all you wanted was love

Why would you use me up?

Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away

When all I wanted to be

Was your giving tree

Settle down, build a home and make you happy

Settle down, build a home and make you happy.
