If a Tree Falls

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hiding in your hoodie, pulling on its strings Haven't took it off since you told me everything God, I wish that you didn't Had to take a knife and open up the cut Silver in the light, watch it tear me up I'll bleed out any minute [Pre-Chorus] I could look the other way again 'Cause I learned from the best how to play pretend [Chorus] If a tree falls I don't wanna hear it 'Cause if I don't know I don't have to feel it If I don't see it going down Then why can't I just block it out? Watching you fall And I was nowhere near it But I heard it, and I hate it [Verse 2] Back at the beginning, older than before Wish I could remember the girl who I adored I don't know where she's hidden Running by the water, sun-burning my skin Gotta keep on moving before it all sinks in How is he getting through it? [Pre-Chorus] I could look the other way again 'Cause I learned from the best how to play pretend [Chorus] If a tree falls I don't wanna hear it (I don't want wanna hear it, I don't) 'Cause if I don't know I don't like to feel it (I don't have to feel it, I don't) If I don't see it going down Then why can't I just block it out? Watching you fall And I was nowhere near it But I heard it, and I hate it [Post-Chorus] If I don't see it going down (Does it make a sound, does it make a sound?) Then I won't have to be let down (Oh, I hate the sound, oh, I hate the sound) If I don't see it going down (Does it make a sound, does it make a sound?) Then why can't I just block it out? (Oh, I hate the sound, oh, I hate the sound) [Bridge] Yeah, I heard it, and I hate that I did, now I'm hurting And I heard it, and I hate that I did, was it worth it? If I don't see it going down (Does it make a sound, does it make a sound?) Then why can't I just block it out? (Does it make a sound, does it make a) [Outro] If a tree falls I don't wanna hear it
