The shy tree

lyrics

It was a bright Sunday morning when I first saw her
She was beautiful in her blue gown, brushing her sister's hair
The breakfast was turning cold when she showed up, always drawing everyone's attention with her moves

To be honest, I've never loved what I do
I always felt like I was the bad guy
stealing bliss from oblivious lives

I watch her chatting in a bar
While she takes tea with all her friends
I catch her in my photographs
As she walks down crowded streets

“But when the lights go down
I stand and watch in moonless nights
Longing for your smile”

And tryin' to keep you safe from everything
And dyin' for being your cape in rainy days
Hearing all the candid words you say
But never reachin' you, anyway

The day I crossed her way in the park
when our eyes finally met
I could tell we shared the same familiar feelings
I heard a sudden stop and saw
her hands tightened in fear
Then she turned around
but there was just trees surrounding her

And tryin' to keep you safe from everything
And dyin' for being your cape in rainy springs
But now i‘m swearing words to gods that I won't pray
'cause i'm never reachin' you, anyway

I try to keep you safe from everything
I dream for being the one who put the ring
BUT NOW I'M
trying to scream to take my pain away
stuck within a cage I can't escape
I was lost in thoughts when shadows took you away
So i'll never reach you anyway

Surroundeded by people dressed in black I painfully smile
To think I've never been so close, now that I'm six feet over
And as the days go on and on, I have no tears to shed
'Cause deep down in my heart I know for sure
the way to reach you
