The Giving Tree Lyrics - Plain White T's

All the leaves on the giving tree have fallen 

No shade to crawl in underneath 

I've got scars from a pocket knife 

Where you carved your heart into me 

If all you wanted was love 

Why would you use me up 

Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away 

When all I wanted to be was your giving tree 

Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?

I lie in the dead of night and I wonder 

Whose covers you're between 

And it's sad laying in his bed 

You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me 

If all you wanted was love 

Why would you use me up 

Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away 

When all I wanted to be was your giving tree 

Settle down, build a home, and make you happy? 

Well, I see a trail that starts 

A line of broken hearts behind you 

That lead you back to me 

The once sad and lonely fool 

With nothing left but roots to show, oh 

Photos 

If all you wanted was love 

Why would you use me up 

Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away 

When all I wanted to be was your giving tree 

Settle down, build a home, and make you happy, 

Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
