be nice to the trees in your life, friends.
also for grace, because boys are fucking assholes.
lyrics
I am stuck.
I gave you air to fill yr lungs
Yet, you still chose to go to those who pollute them.
I gave you changing colors
Shades of yellow, red, orange, and green.
Yet, you love others who are only black and white.
I gave you a solid foundation
Made a pact to always be there
Yet you went to crumbling concrete.
You made me feel like I was rotting
Yet I was still firmly planted on the ground
And as parts of me began to fall around you
You stood by me,
But looked into her eyes instead.
