I've spent 5 years
Trying to find my way out of the maze
That you built in the house I grew up in
Hmm
It's never clear
If I'm an attraction you love
Or a game that you'll never give up in
Hmm

Evergreen
Don't be mean
I have always loved you even when you hated me
Evergreen
Can't you see
I have never ever tried to be your enemy
Evergreen
Let me be
Let me be

The seasons change
They'll put up a statue of me
You can stare at until they remove it
Hmm
But you remain
Hidden in forests I wish
I could hide in for more than a moment
Hmm

Evergreen
Look at me
I'm made up of branches broken off of pretty trees
Evergreen
If you could see
That it's better if they never shake off all your leaves
Evergreen
They'll let you be
They'll let you

Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm

Evergreen
Don't be mean
I have always loved you even when you hated me
Evergreen
Can't you see
I have never ever tried to be your enemy
Evergreen
Let me be
Let me be
