V1 :
Standing up in my backyard is the old oak tree.
For 10 years, it stood and watched over me.
Later, I moved away
No matter what, I promised that I would stay.
Pre-Chorus :
I had to leave, I wasn't free.
'Cause lying was the guilt.
That haunted me.
I had to leave.
Chorus :
Everything doesn't work out.
Had to realize that now.
Even though it was painful.
I ran to you 'cause you were always there.
I know you're not here.
I'll miss you.
I'll always remember you.
V2 :
I thought the life I had was perfect.
Until I found out from epiphany.
It wasn't worth it.
I tried to hide it with and smile.
Later I revealed the truth.
'Cause the pain was eating me alive.
Pre-Chorus :
I had to leave, I wasn't free.
'Cause lying was the guilt.
That haunted me.
I had to leave.
Chorus :
Everything doesn't work out.
Had to realize that now.
Even though it was painful.
I ran to you 'cause you were always there.
I know you're not here.
I'll miss you.
I'll always remember you.
Closing :
I come back to see you gone, my old oak tree.
For the years, thank you for watching over me.
