I Don’t Ask Trees

[Verse]
When I see you fly so free and far
For me, he said, it's just too hard
How I cried that night when I clipped my wings
So he could be there when I sing

I was a dreamer, I was a girl
Oh the ways we try to love in this world
I got as small as he asked me to
Like it was what I had to do

[Chorus]
I don't ask trees why they need so much time to grow
I don't ask hearts why they need so much time to know

[Verse]
Well I hid my tears, I did my best
Didn't know I got that lost, I guess
In all those years there was no home
Like flying on the air alone

I didn't tell you when I knew I could
I didn't leave him whеn I knew I should
When the sky was coppеr and full of birds
I heard their songs and I knew the words

[Chorus]
I don't ask trees why they need so much time to grow
I don't ask hearts why they need so much time to know
