Apple turned his back on me

He went running, but he can't see

Tree meant nothing to him

Tree forever, not the end

Tree growing on and on

A new branch had just begun

Only thought of himself

Put friends upon a shelf

I would have done the same

But I don't betray

I would have done the same

But I don't betray

Tree meant nothing to him

An acquaintence, not a friend

Told not to burn a bridge

I might want to cross again

That's a path I won't take

I won't make the same mistake

I'm not ripe, but I'm not dumb

You can only pick me once

I would have done the same

But I don't betray

I would have done the same

But I don't betray

Don't know where to turn

As you watch your world burn

Rejection hard to take

Realize it's your fate

Persevere, move on

A new branch has just begun

All things are meant to be

It's a thing called destiny

Crab apple tree

There's more to life then the eye can see

Crab apple tree

Things aren't always how you want them to be

Hatred in your heart, is bad on your soul

Forgive, forget, and just let it go

Live every moment as it will be your last

Don't look to the future, or dwell in the past

Crab apple tree

There's more to life then the eye can see

Crab apple tree

Things aren't always how you want them to be
