Looking back I find many holes along the path 
Where there once was only kindness 
I saw you far away, with that same old knowing grin 
That would melt the fears I had about our love 

You and I, we ran, yeah we hoped we'd never lose this thought 
We'd keep it close next to our hearts 
Favoring our wants, we dispelled what darkness wrought 
The reality of where we are, and where we've been 

Cold, dead trees 
Brings me to my beaten knees 
Brings me to my knees! 

Watching out for us, every day the sun would rise 
Flooding light into our eyes 
In between the forest leaves, all the rays would give us hope 
Give us something now to live for! 

And I knew that where we went, there was no turning back 
A permanent reflection on our souls 
Gathering our thoughts, what we never really knew could be so true 

What has this world done to me and you? 

Cold, dead trees 
Brings me to my beaten knees 
Brings me to my knees!
