Rootless Tree Songtext
von Damien Rice

What I want from you, is empty your head
But they say, "Be true, don′t stain your bed"
And we do what we need to be free
And it leans on me like a rootless tree

What I want from us, is empty our minds
We fake, fuss, we fracture the times
We go blind when we needed to see
And this leans on me, like a rootless

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and all we've been through
I said, "Leave it, leave it, leave it, it′s nothing to you"
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good
But you just let me out, let me out, let me out
It's hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you′re around
Let me out, let me out, let me out


What I want from this, is learn to let go
No, not of you, of all that′s been told
Killers re-invent and believe
And this leans on me, like a rootless

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and all we've been through
I said, "Leave it, leave it, leave it, it′s nothing to you"
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good
But you just let me out, let me out, let me out
It's hell when you′re around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
It's hell when you′re around

Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and all you′ve been through
I said, "Leave it, leave it, leave it, it′s nothing to you"
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good
But you just let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out


Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you′re around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you′re around
