|
Willow, weep for me |
|
Bow your tallest tree |
|
Down to the infamous hands |
|
Of someone no one understands |
|
I'm not unique in this |
|
It's based on none but my mistake |
|
At night I lie awake |
|
Thinking of all the hearts I'd happily break |
|
It's cruel I know, at least they tell me so |
|
Well, someone lock me up |
|
And throw away the key |
|
Because I'm not ashamed, oh no , oh, willow |
|
That I only write love songs to those whom I don't love |
|
I only reach for him who's tied to someone else's glove |
|
That which I hold inside, which I admire and deride |
|
Which I protect and hide is yours |
|
Willow, weep for me, don't think I don't see |
|
This life I'm living in two but still it's something I must do |
|
I'm not unique in this, nor am I special, sweet or kind |
|
I court a thousand smiles, yet I keep my own to hide behind |
|
It's cruel I know, at least they tell me so |
|
Well someone lock me up |
|
And throw away the key |
|
Because I'm not ashamed, oh no, oh, willow |
|
That I only write love songs to those whom I don't love |
|
I only reach for him who's tied to someone else's glove |
|
That which I hold inside, which I admire and deride |
|
Which I protect and hide is yours |
|
Slander and dissension, they're parlor games to me |
|
Papers overrun with lies too mad to mention |
|
You say they never hurt you, mo consequence, I'm happy |
|
We're much too far above it all but oh no, that's not true |
|
These wicked pastimes take their toll |
|
These tyrant vices break your soul |
|
Deliver me from all I am |
|
And all I never want to be |
|
I love you |
|
(Oh willow, willow, willow) |
|
Doubt me not |
|
Rewrite this plot for all to see |
|
And I only write love songs to those whom I don't love |
|
I only reach for him who's tied to someone else's glove |
|
That which I hold inside, which I admire and deride |
|
Which I protect and hide is yours |
|
Bend your branches to the ground and hold me close |
|
Let me harmonize with all we knew |
|
Share your sympathy and weep for me |
|
Oh, willow, heal the hearts I've broken |
|
Make me pure and start my song anew |
|
For I only write love songs to those whom I don't love |
|
I only reach for him who's tied to someone else's glove |
|
That which I hold inside, which I admire and deride |
|
Which I protect and hide is yours |
