I had you to myself
But you knew I wanted him
You knew i'd run back to him again
But I didn't.

You were innocent
And I was guilty as hell
You played your part so well.
But you weren't.

I said "my friends are just friends"
And nothing more.
But you'd heard it all before.
You didn't.

So we went our own ways
We came to an end.
But then your friends weren't still your friends.
She wasn't.

I should have seen the signs
Your new lover is old.
And you laid in my bed like you were made of gold.
You're not.

But too late to hurt
I've started over again.
And all my friends are still friends

Today you cut me down
A ragged wound caused by your ax
Heart racing, you chop me up
And burn me til i'm ash.

Today you cut me down
I'd tried so hard to grow my leaves
But as the weather got colder, i lost them
And never got to grieve.

Today you cut me down
After waiting for me to bloom
Just so you could take my fruit
And with your ax, resume.

How could you cut me down
When i only grew for you
Said my branches were too thin
And my flowers never grew

Today you cut me down
To almost nothing at all
I no longer reach the sky
I'm only 2 feet tall.

Today you cut me down
And left me bare for all to see
Til the day i realized
You'd just set me free.
