@The girl behind the tree

[Verse 1] I was higher than I knew till the branch forgot my name something turned inside the wood and it let me through the frame I remember going quiet like a room without a door and a figure in the distance I had never seen before [Pre-Chorus] I thought I understood the balance how the ground would always stay [Chorus] what I love becomes the weight I can’t carry anymore it doesn’t make the pain grow louder just settles in the core every moment leaves an outline every loss a shape in me I still see her in the silence the girl behind the tree [Verse 2] there was metal folding inward like a body learning grief time was hanging in the branches caught between the air and me I don’t trust what I remember just the stillness at the scene how the world had come apart and she remained between [Verse 2 - image] no tremor in her breathing no fracture in her gaze like the moment passed around her like she wasn’t in its way [Chorus] what I love becomes the weight I can’t carry anymore it doesn’t make the pain grow louder just settles in the core every moment leaves an outline every loss a shape in me I still see her in the silence the girl behind the tree [Bridge] maybe pain is just a language that we learn from what we keep maybe love is only gravity pulling meaning into reach I was standing in the open where it all could fall on me you were always just beyond it like a question I could see [Bridge - variation] you left without resistance like it didn’t have to break like the world could split around you and I would feel the weight [Final Chorus] what I love becomes the weight I was never meant to hold it doesn’t make the pain grow louder just makes it take control from the branch to silent wreckage to the space you left in me I was always looking through it at the girl behind the tree [Outro] maybe nothing ever chooses maybe nothing has to be but I carry what it passes and you pass right through me
