My, my, my apple tree, oh how far I’m gonna fall from your leaves
For my blood may be tainted but my skin is thick
To hide it well for I know you can’t take the sickness out of the sick.

You gave into temptation, took a bite and went past realization
And the poison pumps through your veins and therefore mine
And I could get sick but I watch for the signs.

For my, my, my apple tree, I’m only half the person I should be
I’m half polluted and I’m half sane
I’m half the leftovers from your indistinct teenage phase

But I hide it well, yes I hide it well for I’d never tell, I’d never tell
But if you hang around here for a while
You’ll notice the empty photo albums and cracks in my smile

But I hide you well, yes I hide you well for I only tell, I only tell
Half my story and half lies
For I keep my secrets safe from judgemental eyes.

I’m not enviable but I’m not envious, for it may have been a mess
But my sympathy can only go so far
For those who make the D word worthy of a scar.

And their eyes show the resent they feel for the torment
Of being tied to a chair
For their children are the only thing that keeps them there

For my, my, my apple tree, if you stayed oh who would I be?
Sad, sad, sad if she worried about pride
For its ended the best, making it all so glorified.
