It hurts you now to listen
You say you're on a mission
Dealing with the pain inside
But all you seem to do is cry

Hands shaking dropping your defenses
Now you're taking your chances

Cause every night, and every day
I see you fall down on your knees
It doesn't matter what I say
You'll do what you do...
In the forest for the trees.

There's a halt on conversation
You tell me that you're stayin'
Another bright day has gone by
But he's bigger than the big blue sky

So tired of making excuses
Gotta stop, sitting on fences

Cause every night, and every day
I see you fall down on your knees
It doesn't matter what I say
You'll do what you do...
In the forest for the trees.

You're craving physical attention
Make or break for a new seduction
You're left here picking up the pieces
But only truth can set you free

Cause every night, and every day
I see you fall down on your knees
It doesn't matter what I say
You'll do what you do...
In the forest for the tree
