Rootless Tree-The war in relationships

Rootless Tree
by Damien Rice

"what i want from you
is empty your head
they say be true,
don't stain your bed
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 a fuss
and fracture the times
we go blind
when we've needed to see
and it leans on melike a rootless...
so 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 that you can let me out
let me out of this hell when you're around
let me out, let me out,
let me out of this hell when you're around
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 reinvent and believe
and this leans on me
like a rootless...
so 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 that you can let me out , let me out, let me out
let me out of this hell when you're around
let me out...
and fuck you, fuck you, i love you
and all we've been through
i said leave it
it's nothing to you
and if you hate me
then hate me so good that you can let me out
let me out...
it's hell when you're around"

my own rootless tree
this is a war, internal and external
it starts of slow, sometimes with hope and happiness
but it seems that all of these have the same endings
if you listened to the words
maybe you would understand
it sounds a little intense
but we all go through this feeling of frustration

I have a passion for this
a passion for something you don't
its not the anger i relate to
but the passion for something strong

I have a passion for being a rootless tree
being the one that is able to move with ease
with leaves that sway, and a mindset that never stays

I don't relate with the violence
I relate with the excitement of always changing my mind
being a rootless tree
my favorite lines, empty your mind
this makes life more interesting, more deep, more profound
saying what you want to say

it must be the truth that draws me into this melody
"we go blind when we needed to see"
we never make the right decisions
of love and life

or at least often we believe we didnt...

I have no one to send these words of a song to
I don't have this anger
I'm happy and content, but I am still a rootless tree
I've already learned to let go, yet something draws me
to these words and emotion

love me... hate me... let me out...lean on me..
like a rootless tree
