Damien Rice - Rootless Tree Lyrics

Artist: Damien Rice

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Damien George Rice

What I want from you is empty your head
But they say be true, don't stay in 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
But we fake, we fuss and fracture the times
We go blind when we've 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 and hate me so good
That 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 to 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 you hate me, hate me
Hate me and hate me so good
That 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, and hate me so good
That 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, 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
