If A Tree Falls

(альбом: Blame My Ex - 2023)

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

I could look the other way again
'Cause I learned from the best how to play pretend

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

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?

I could look the other way again
'Cause I learned from the best how to play pretend

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

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

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

If a tree falls
I don't wanna hear it
