Soccer and superheroes
Holding on to something
That I didn't know led to sorrow
How was I so trusting?
What happened to the little girl
That played by the willow tree
Forts and training wheels
Skinned my knees, doing something that made me happy
But I didn't know it would end badly
What happened to the little girl
That played by the willow tree
You know I wanted to go back
To the tree in the front yard
That gave shade to the cars
And was shelter during wars
But it was a facade
I guess ignorance is bliss
I know it's just a tree
But I'm allowed to reminisce
Out with the old in with the new
The world's bound to change
But I didn't think I'd change too
What happened to the little girl
That played by the willow tree
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Screaming and family drama
Chaotic was how we were
We had to build up all our armor
To fight each other with words
That's what happened to the little girl
That played by the willow tree
You know I wanted to go back
To the tree in the front yard
That gave shade to the cars
And was shelter during wars
But it was a facade
I guess ignorance is bliss
I know it's just a tree
But I'm allowed to reminisce
Out with the old in with the new
The world's bound to change
But I didn't think I'd change too
What happened to the little girl
That played by the willow tree

Oh willow, why do you weep?
The most melancholy tree yet it felt so free
Oh, did somebody hurt you?
Did they make you cry?
When they cut you down,
Did you ever ask why?
I guess you were the cause of your own destruction
I'll miss you, tree of dysfunction
