I am a grieving fruit
Hang low and I'm assumed sweet
Yet the curves and swerves of my limbs
wring me into a crooked laurel tree
I've been awake
and I've prayed
through the stormy weather, I've stayed
unfairly I've been waiting long enough to say
haven't I the right to say
You're all I ever needed
through you hurt instead
you're all I ever wanted
no, I don't what to say
I don't forgive you yet
by the fire we've set
grows the shadow of a woman I've never met
she speaks in riddles and twisted tongues
she tells me I'm doing no good to anyone
I'm sorry if all my aching makes you wait for me
while I count all the times I've let
the shadow of a woman I've never met
tear me down and I can't stop shrinking
I'm dragging my feet and I can't stop sinking
I'm sorry if all my aching makes you wait for me
I'm sorry if my waiting makes you ache with me
Well I'm scared if I stop crying, I'll start fading
I know it's a little silly but,
I'm scared if I stop crying, I'll start fading
I've been awake
and I've prayed
through the stormy weather, I've stayed
unfairly I've been waiting long enough to say
haven't I the right to say
You're all I ever needed
through you hurt instead
you're all I ever wanted
no, I don't what to say
I don't forgive you yet
