lyrics

Saw a penny in a stream
Shining bright from underneath
But you never thought yourself a thief
So you went ahead and let it be

Saw an apple in a tree
Stole away among the leaves
Had a thought that you would plant the seed
But you couldn’t seem to bury me
The copper coin will drift away
The fruit will fall to rot someday
You won’t recall a word I say
I guess it really doesn’t matter

When I’m gone are you going to miss me?
Are you even listening?
Do you even care about anything at all?

I should have known you’d break my heart
I should have seen it from the start
