Giving Tree Lyrics by Riverby

Smart Mouth

2020

You only come around when it’s dark outside
I’m starting to think I made you up
You’re never there when I open my eyes
Tell myself every time it’s the last
Then you’re calling at two in the morning
And I’m too weak to say no to that

I’m letting someone break my heart
Who doesn’t deserve it
Who doesn’t even want it
Doesn’t he know it’s his
So take all that I have
Take all that I am
I’ll be your giving tree

In life the lessons we learn
Are what carry us through
I think the greatest lesson I’ve learned
Is some things you aren’t meant to go back to

So I’ll frame the words I wish you’d said
I’ll hang them on the wall above my bed
I’ll make an altar of imaginary things
I’ll remind myself nothing’s real like the love you gave to me

I’m letting someone break my heart
Who doesn’t deserve it
Who doesn’t even want it
Doesn’t he know it’s his
So take all that I have
Take all that I am
I’ll be your giving tree

But I keep coming back to you
Sometimes I need you so badly
I forget you’re broken too

I’m letting someone break my heart
Who doesn’t deserve it
Who doesn’t even want it
Doesn’t he know it’s his
So take all that I have
Take all that I am
I’ll be your giving tree
