The whole world set me up for failure
They forget to set me up for failure
And so did you, and so did I
Maybe if I'd fallen from a little less high
I wouldn't have hit the ground so hard
When you didn't make a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns upside-down
Can she hear the sound
I used to say it couldn't be summed up
But I've summed it up in a million ways
And so did you, but I think I
Tried a little harder, from a horse less high
I wouldn't have hit the ground so hard
If you could've make a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns upside-down
She can hear the sound
You had to go
What do you know
I'm doin just fine now
I hear ya go, I told you so
The only unbroken vow
Ow, ow
But I wouldn't've hit the ground so hard
If you could've made a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns upside-down
She can hear the sound
It's been a year
We're in the clear
So happy September
But still I fear
I held you so dear
My body remembers
You had to go
What do you know
I'm doin just fine now
I hear ya go, I told you so
The only unbroken vow
Oh, what do you know
Where did I go
Lost in the waiting
Found still on the ground
If there'd been more water
I woulda drowned
Not yet done coughing up the contents you spilled
From a half empty cup
I'm trying to clean
I'm trying to tend to a dead empty garden
But everything new gets strangled by weeds
Tangled by your weeds
Tangled in weeds
Strangled by your weeds
I wouldn't've hit the ground so hard
If you could've made a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns upside-down
She can hear the sound
She can hear the sound
