Lyrics

It's two in the morning and I'm about to miss this dreaded flight
I'm deep into mourning the person you were before this fight
Hands on my pillow clutching remains of your presence here
If you were a dog you'd have a soft bark but a vicious bite
Your apology crushes me
But if you're gonna say more I'm insisting
Don't put a rope swing on a dead tree
The branches will splinter your memory
The cable will fray and the wood will all rot
The pain from the fall will be all that you've got
Looking back now I feel like a child who lost her doll
How can you say you're a phone call away but not come when I call?
And call I did, like a fool with the wind trying to sing through a storm
You know what they, you lose them how you get them after all
Your apology crushes me
But if you're gonna say more I'm insisting
Don't put a rope swing on a dead tree
The branches will splinter your memory
The cable will fray and the wood will all rot
The pain from the fall will be all that you've got
Don't put a rope swing on a dead tree
Don't loosen my chains then forbid my release
Don't be mad, you yearned for a writer
Don't say you'll come back, you'll turn into a liar
Don't put a rope swing on a dead tree
Don't cling to my branches, you'll break me
