Hannah Blaylock - Burned the Forest

We pulled the plow, fought off the crows
Put down some roots and slowly watched it grow
We weathered storms, hands in the dirt
Ignored the plague, desperate to make it work

But then behind my back you planted seeds
And I did not know I was watering weeds
When I could not see the truth for the trees

I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I lit a match and watched it go up in flames
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I cried a tear for the ashes then I walked away
You broke my heart
Tore it apart

I guess I broke, snapped like a twig
Guess everybody's got a fireline and you flipped the switch
What'd you expect, I wouldn't see?
I'm not the girl to eat an apple from a poison tree

You went behind my back you planted seeds
And I did not know I was watering weeds
When I could not see the truth for the trees

I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I lit a match and watched it go up in flames
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I cried a tear for the ashes then I walked away
You broke my heart
Tore it apart
You broke my heart
Tore it apart

And now I see the rain wash the embers on the floor
A new field of green is growing stronger than before

I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I lit a match and watched it go up in flames
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I cried a tear for the ashes then I walked away
You broke my heart and now I'm burning the forest
Tore it apart and so I'm burning the forest
You broke my heart and now I'm burning the forest
Tore it apart and so I'm burning the forest
You broke my heart
Tore it apart
You broke my heart
Tore it apart
