Lyrics
You love cities, but my heart's in the trees
You prefer urban environments, but my heart belongs to nature.
So I don't think that you should be with me
Because of our differing preferences, I don't believe we should be together.
I think pretty is flower fields and leaves
I find beauty in natural elements like flower fields and leaves.
But baby, I wish you thought it was me
However, I wish you saw me as beautiful instead.
I'm an open field, but you build walls
I'm open and free, but you construct barriers.
And God knows how they kill the scenery
These barriers negatively impact the beauty of our surroundings.
I'd forgotten how it feels to be in love
I forgot how love feels.
I should've been more careful, dove too deep
I should have been cautious; I got too deeply involved.
And I've been growin' and healin' from the fall
I've been learning and recovering from a downfall.
But I don't think you can feel at all
But I doubt you're capable of feeling emotions.
Cause I've been showing my weaknesses and faults
I've been displaying my vulnerabilities and flaws.
But you could never be so vulnerable
Yet, you seem incapable of being equally vulnerable.
I'm an open field, but you build walls
I'm open, but you put up barriers.
And God knows how they kill the scenery
These barriers negatively affect the beauty around us.
I'd forgotten how it feels to be in love
I forgot the sensation of being in love.
I should've been more careful, dove too deep
I should have been cautious; I got too deeply involved.
And I follow my heart
I follow my heart through highs and lows.
Up and down through hills
But despite our efforts, we haven't made progress.
And we've gotten nowhere
We seem lost without a clear path forward.
And I can't see the trail
I can't see the way forward.
But as we've grown apart
As we've drifted apart,
And the water's stilled
and things have calmed down,
I've been beaten down by every barricade you've built
I've faced obstacles you've created.
And after all this time
Despite the time passed,
The butterflies have died
the excitement and joy have faded.
They've been suffocated by the walls inside your mind
They've been stifled by your mental barriers.
And after every fight
After each conflict,
I've come to realize
I've realized that
The night must come and go before the sun can up and rise
before there can be progress, there must be difficulties.
I'm an open field, but you build walls
I'm open, but you put up barriers.
And God knows how they kill the scenery
These barriers negatively affect the beauty around us.
I'd forgotten how it feels to be in love
I forgot the sensation of being in love.
I should've been more careful, dove too deep
I should have been cautious; I got too deeply involved.
