Post 553: Christmas Tree Version 2 (3/30/10)

Christmas Tree V2 – bad (11/30/09 c, 3/30/10 w)

What we had was so beautiful

I thought it was true
Now I can’t understand exactly
Exactly what I ever saw in you
Why are you so cruel

Our relationship was like a Christmas tree

So lively and so new
So splendidly decorated that I thought was true
But as time goes on, now I see
Our love has withered and died
Like a Christmas tree

Now when I hear your voice

I no longer hear a song
Just fingernails on a blackboard
And I can’t hear you when you’re yelling at me
How did I get it so wrong
Why did I think this is where I belonged

Our relationship was like a Christmas tree

So lively and so new
So splendidly decorated that I thought was true
But as time goes on, now I see
Our love has withered and died
Like a Christmas tree

We tried to keep it alive

With water everyday
But it had no roots
I guess that is why what seemed so special is no longer here to stay
I wish it were true
How could I have been so wrong about you

Our relationship was like a Christmas tree

So lively and so new
So splendidly decorated that I thought was true
But as time goes on, now I see
Our love has withered and died
Like a Christmas tree
