For what it's worth I was happy just to make a friend But if I knew what for I'd throw it all away and start again For what it's worth I think about you every now and then It makes me realize what a fool I've been I just thought that you should know The giving tree is giving up Oh your leech has bled me dry for the last time No the giving tree is giving up Oh am I sad to see you go or am I sad to see you? It's hard to say what makes a person fade away to grey Was I to blame or did it ever mean a thing to me? (a thing to me) I don't see a friend that doesn't want a charity I wish that time would release all the feelings that keep choking me I just thought that you should know The giving tree is giving up Oh your leech has bled me dry for the last time No the giving tree is giving up Oh am I sad to see you go or am I sad to see you? One day I hope you realize there's more to life then taking advantage Of people and their good intentions No the giving tree is giving up (x2) Run to the holy ground (x4) Run run run For the last time, no (x2) For the last time Run to the holy ground (x4)
