Lyrics The Tree – Maren Morris
I’m done filling a cup with a hole in the bottom
I’m taking an axe to the tree
The rot at the roots is the root of the problem
But you wanna blame it on me
I hung around longer than anyone should
You’ve broken my heart more than anyone could
Trying to stop me won’t do you no good
I’ve already planted the seeds
Ooh, do you hear that
It’s the sound of a new wind blowing
Ooh, do you feel that
Heart letting go of the weight it’s been holding
I’ve made miracles in the shadows
But now that I’m out in the sun
I’ll never stop growing, wherever I’m going
Hope I’m not the only one
I’m done filling a cup with a hole in the bottom
And screaming the truth to a liar
Spent ten thousand hours tryna fight it with flowers
And the tree was already on fire
Yeah, the tree was already on fire
Ooh, do you hear that
It’s the sound of a new wind blowing
Ooh, do you feel that
Heart letting go of the weight it’s been holding
I’ve made miracles in the shadows
But now that I’m out in the sun
I’ll never stop growing, wherever I’m going
Hope I’m not the only one
Ooh, do you see that
It’s the light of a better day dawning
Ooh, do you hear that
It’s the sound of a tree falling
Ooh, do you hear that
It’s the sound of a new wind blowing
Ooh, do you feel that
Heart letting go of the weight it’s been holding
I’ve made miracles in the shadows
But now that I’m out in the sun
I’ll never stop growing, wherever I’m going
Hope I’m not the only one
Hope I’m not the only one
Hope I’m not the only one…
