willow tree Lyrics

Soccer and superheroes

Holding on to something

That I didn't know led to sorrow

How was I so trusting?

What happened to the little girl

That played by the willow tree

Forts and training wheels

Skinned my knees, doing something that made me happy

But I didn't know it would end badly

What happened to the little girl

That played by the willow tree

You know I wanted to go back

To the tree in the front yard

That gave shade to the cars

And was shelter during wars

But it was a facade

I guess ignorance is bliss

I know it's just a tree

But I'm allowed to reminisce

Out with the old in with the new

The world's bound to change

But I didn't think I'd change too

What happened to the little girl

That played by the willow tree

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na

Screaming and family drama

Chaotic was how we were

We had to build up all our armor

To fight each other with words

That's what happened to the little girl

That played by the willow tree

You know I wanted to go back

To the tree in the front yard

That gave shade to the cars

And was shelter during wars

But it was a facade

I guess ignorance is bliss

I know it's just a tree

But I'm allowed to reminisce

Out with the old in with the new

The world's bound to change

But I didn't think I'd change too

What happened to the little girl

That played by the willow tree

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Oh willow, why do you weep?

The most melancholy tree yet it felt so free

Oh, did somebody hurt you?

Did they make you cry?

When they cut you down,

Did you ever ask why?

I guess you were the cause of your own destruction

I'll miss you, tree of dysfunction

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na
