Just a shiny little apple, still growing up
But that shine you see in the pictures
Isn’t really there
I just reflect it off back to you
And maybe it’s what I was
But I’m far from you now
I’m far from the tree.

Maybe we are the same
Could you live without your stereo?
Did you live for Pinwheels
and holding someone’s hand?
Did you sing?
Were you angry?
Was it me?
But now I’m far from you
Now I’m far from the tree.

Did you know you made a hole in my chest?
Right through the middle
The shiny little apple had a worm
And now he’s gone
And there’s nothing to fill up where he used to be
Did you know that you broke me?
Did you know I still cry
Like that little girl hiding behind the couch
And it makes me feel weak
And empty
And all I want is to be whole again
But now I’m far from you
Now I’m far from the tree.

You and your twisted branches
Sad excuses for good, strong arms
Your brown skin remembers like sandpaper
The unspeakable parts of my past
The unknown, but all knowing
Was I just a bunch of papers?
Just a way back to her?
Yes she told me that
Did you think she wouldn’t?
Are you still waiting for Wednesday?
Did you ever come?
Do you think of me?
Did I fuck with your head
Like you fuck with mine?
You still dating that bitch?
Does it even matter
Because I’m far from you
Now I’m far from the tree.

Where does the apple go
When it rolls away to someplace better?
How does it forget who it came from?
All the empty promises it left behind
All your lies were clouds around my head.
You put the brittle in my bones
You closed up my throat
You gave me your naivety
That got me so many scars
You gave me that thing in your head
And I don’t know what it is
But that’s what made you different
Smart but just a little crazy
But I’m far from you
Now I’m far from the tree

I am far from the tree
just telling myself
I am far from the tree.
