Lieve - The Good Old Maple Tree Lyrics

I grew into a something that suits me now
And I never knew this is how it would turn out
'Cause people are people
And sometimes we get mad
And I know I must never forget
I grew up in a village
That I used to know
I loved the way it smelled
And the old paving stones
The streets spelled my name
Like an old friend does
And I never knew
It would feel so rough
'Cause I know I need to escape
In another reality
I have to cave
And I never thought
I would have to leave
But it turns out
All that's left is the good old maple tree
Monday morning I wake up
Feel the sunlight on my face
I know I'll never keep with you
You're just too far away
As I keep on running further
And I need to catch my breath
The earth will spin faster
Round and round till I regret
'Cause I know I need to escape
In another reality
I have to cave
And I never thought
I would have to leave
But it turns out
All that's left is the good old maple tree
I knew the streets
I knew the places
Used to walk around for ages
Never wanted to leave home
But know it just feels like alone
Home is gone but I am here
I still walk on the same streets
'Cause I know I need to escape
In another reality
I have to cave
And I never thought
I would have to leave
But it turns out
All that's left is the good old maple tree
The good old maple tree
