Why me



Hollow oak why me
Why do you stare at the stars
While I'm shining all day
Why do you feel the need to love autumn instead of my winter gaze
I feel as you see yourself standing tall
I want to feel that way so hollow and full of knowledge
I know you've felt pain and abandoned like me
Why me hollow tree
Why do you push me away like the wind blows the leaves
I care so deeply about you hollow tree
I keep the clouds away and shine bright for the
On some days I know I'm not there
But under the storm is my brightening glare
Oh hollow tree just soak me in
You will blossom and perk like the spring is here
But you choose to only look up when the stars are in the sky
Why me did you ever think I'm right there
Waiting to be seen
Oh hollow tree..
