[00:19.07] All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen
[00:23.78] No shade to crawl in underneath
[00:31.49] I got scars from a pocket knife
[00:34.22] Where you carved your heart into me
[00:43.06] If all you wanted was love
[00:46.37] Why would you use me up
[00:49.52] Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
[00:55.91] When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
[01:02.12] Settle down, build a home, and make you happy
[01:09.81] I lie in the dead of night and I wonder
[01:15.30] Whose covers you're between
[01:22.62] And it's sad laying in his bed
[01:24.75] You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me
[01:33.79] If all you wanted was love
[01:37.20] Why would you use me up
[01:40.12] Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
[01:46.49] When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
[01:52.72] Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
[02:00.35] Well, I see a trail that starts
[02:03.43] A line of broken hearts behind you
[02:08.84] That lead you back to me
[02:13.09] The once sad and lonely fool
[02:16.54] With nothing left but roots to show, oh
[02:24.67] If all you wanted was love
[02:27.67] Why would you use me up
[02:31.05] Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
[02:37.36] When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
[02:43.49] Settle down, build a home, and make you happy
[02:49.84] Settle down, build a home, and make you happy
