Orphanage - Leafless lyrics

in my roots underground

bits of grief still remain

lingering memories

replacing joy by pain

in my roots underneath

my silent cries grind and burn

shaping my own defeat

to the point of no return

you are leaving me to cope with my scars

ignoring me for what ?

I don't know

former joy burnt down and decayed

all that might have been turned to hate

dew washed away by the rain

acid bitterness eats me

it burns a hole in my crust

seedlings of our trust

won't grow no more

leafless you left me

as leaves fell down to earth

naked I became when you left

lonely is the wood of my trunc

where in the whirl of your thoughts was the reason anyway

seasons nature's cure for my shame

in time my branches will grow again

spring, winter's foe has arrived

blooming I once did ...

and will do again ...

what did I do wrong to lose your trust?

the tree thats me was shook

you turned your back and left

can't you see I was afraid of you

and of that higher tree

that took the sun away

it all happened much too fast for me

and what you didn't know:

your tears were acid rain

browning my green
