Burned the Forest

[Verse 1]
We pulled the plow, fought off the crows
Put down some roots and slowly watched 'em grow
We weathered storms, hands in the dirt
Ignored the plague, desperate to make it work

[Pre-Chorus]
But then behind my back, you planted seeds
And I did not know I was watering weeds
When I could not see the truth for the trees

[Chorus]
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I lit a match and watched it go up in flames
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I cried a tear for the ashes then I walked away
(You broke my heart, tore it apart)

[Verse 2]
I guess I broke, snapped like a twig
Guess everybody's got a fire line
And you flipped the switch
What'd you expect? I wouldn't see?
I'm not the girl to eat an apple from a poison tree

[Pre-Chorus]
You went behind my back and planted seeds
And I did not know I was watering weeds
When I could not see the truth for the trees

[Chorus]
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I lit a match and watched it go up in flames
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I cried a tear for the ashes then I walked away
(You broke my heart, tore it apart)
(You broke my heart, tore it apart)

[Bridge]
And now I see the rain wash the embers on the floor
A new field of green is growing stronger than before

[Chorus]
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I lit a match and watched it go up in flames
I burned the forest, I burned the forest
I cried a tear for the ashes then I walked away
(You broke my heart, now I'm burning the forest)

[Outro]
I walked away
(Tore it apart and so I'm burning the forest)
I burned the forest
(You broke my heart, now I'm burning the forest)
Hey
(Tore it apart and so I'm burning the forest)
(You broke my heart, tore it apart)
(You broke my heart, tore it apart)
