Trees don't grow to the sky
fairy tales don't come true
and miracles don't happen
no matter how much you wish
no matter how much you plead
Trees don't grow to the sky

Wishing never got anyone anywhere
I can promise you that
No one on the top ever
sat around waiting for
seeds to sprout

Trees don't from to the sky
God doesn't exist
and the hero rarely wins
no matter how happy
it would make you

to have her back
