Looking back I find many holes along the path
Where there once was only kindness
I saw you far away, with that same old knowing grin
That would melt the fears I had about our love
You and I, we ran, yeah we hoped we'd never lose this thought
We'd keep it close next to our hearts
Favoring our wants, we dispelled what darkness wrought
The reality of where we are, and where we've been
Cold, dead trees
Brings me to my beaten knees
Brings me to my knees!
Watching out for us, every day the sun would rise
Flooding light into our eyes
In between the forest leaves, all the rays would give us hope
Give us something now to live for!
And I knew that where we went, there was no turning back
A permanent reflection on our souls
Gathering our thoughts, what we never really knew could be so true
What has this world done to me and you?
Cold, dead trees
Brings me to my beaten knees
Brings me to my knees!
