I'm like a tree in a forest of tree's
My exterior is hard due to my environment
And if you hurt me I'll cry sweet tears
On the inside I'm smooth and I'm soft
But so is every other tree in the forest
I'm not special, nor do I deserve special treatment
But I do want to be cared for
I want to be shown kindness of the heart
But, for me that's like a romance book
I can only read the words
And touch the pages full of feelings
I can only feel those feelings
But only for a short time
And maybe I get drunk off it
'Cause I crave it
Just tell me that you can
Make me a promise that even if it's only for a short moment
That you will treat me with such care
