The whole world set me up for failure
They forgot to set me up for failure
And so did you, and so did I
Maybe if I’d fallen from a little less high

I wouldn’t've hit the ground so hard
When you didn’t make a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns
Upside-down she can hear the sound

I used to say it couldn’t be summed up
But I’ve summed it up in a million ways
And so did you, but I think I
Tried a little harder from a horse less high

I wouldn’t've hit the ground so hard
If you could’ve make a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns
Upside-down she can hear the sound

You had to go, what do you know?
I'm doin' just fine now

I hear ya go: I told ya so
The only unbroken vow
(Ow, ow)

But I wouldn’t’ve hit the ground so hard
If you could've made a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns
Upside-down she can hear the sound

It’s been a year, we’re in the clear
So happy September

But still I fear, I held you so dear
My body remembers

You had to go, what do you know?
I'm doin' just fine now

I hear ya go: I told ya so
The only unbroken vow

Oh, what do you know? Where did I go?
Lost in the waiting

Found, still on the ground
If there’d been more water
I woulda drowned

Not yet done coughing up
The contents you spilled
From a half empty cup
I'm trying to clean

I'm trying to tend to
A dead empty garden
But everything new
Gets strangled by weeds

I wouldn’t’ve hit the ground so hard
If you could've made a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns
Upside-down she can hear the sound
She can hear the sound

I'm trying to tend to
A dead empty garden
But everything new
Gets strangled by weeds

I wouldn’t’ve hit the ground so hard
If you could've made a sound
When a tree falls alone and the world turns
Upside-down she can hear the sound
She can hear the sound
