Willow
Willow, weep for meBow your tallest treeDown to the infamous handsOf someone no one understands
I'm not unique in thisIt's based on none but my mistakeAt night I lie awakeThinking of all the hearts I'd happily break
It's cruel I knowAt least they tell me soWell someone lock me up and throw away the keyBecause I'm not ashamed, oh noOh, willow
That I only write love songsTo those whom I don't loveI only reach for himWho's tied to someone else's gloveThat which I hold insideWhich I admire and derideWhich I protect and hide is yours
Willow, weep for meDon't think I don't seeThis life I'm living in twoBut still it's something I must doI'm not unique in thisNor am I special, sweet or kindI court a thousand smilesYet I keep my own to hide behind
It's cruel I knowAt least they tell me soWell someone lock me up and throw away the keyBecause I'm not ashamed, oh noOh, willow
That I only write love songsTo those whom I don't loveI only reach for himWho's tied to someone else's gloveThat which I hold insideWhich I admire and derideWhich I protect and hide is yours
Slander and distensionThey're parlor games to mePapers overrun with lies too mad to mentionYou say they never hurt youNo consequence, I'm happyWe're much too far above it allBut oh no, that's not trueThese wicked pastimes take their tollThese tyrant vices break your soulDeliver me from all I amAnd all I never want to be
I love you (Oh willow, willow, willow)Doubt me notRewrite this plot for all to see
And I only write love songsTo those whom I don't loveI only reach for himWho's tied to someone else's gloveThat which I hold insideWhich I admire and derideWhich I protect and hide is yours
Bend your branches to the ground and hold me closeLet me harmonize with all we knewShare your sympathy and weep for meOh, willow, heal the hearts I've brokenMake me pure and start my song anew
For I only write love songsTo those whom I don't loveI only reach for himWho's tied to someone else's gloveThat which I hold insideWhich I admire and derideWhich I protect and hide is yours
