rotten fruit Lyrics

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
