Lyrics
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 to 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 (oh)
And I heard it, and I hate that I did, was it worth it? (Oh)
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
