Zak Jordan - Evergreen Lyrics

I wish I wasn't
That is to say, I wish I was
Someone unaffected
By you and your harm
The plane leaves tomorrow
But I'll already be gone
While you wait for forgiveness
I'll be moving on
And I have yet to see you cry
But I'll make sure it happens this time
I recall the sunlight
Warming unfamiliar skin
Numbly lost in the cold
Searching for an end
So I chose a tall shade
Reaching through, green and fair
And I felt your disapproval
But I've learned not to care
Cause I'm not who you want me to be
And I think that's fine, you can disagree
I think the evergreens look best in winter
When there's nowhere left to hide
So pull back the leaves
And tighten the strings
And we'll face what's inside
I remember floating
With the wind that touched the trees
Surprised by how it felt
How I looked so at ease
It started by your window
Left a trail for you to find
And like a good dog you followed
Until you reached the pines
And I can't wait to hear you scream
Cause I know you can't blame this on me
Don't the evergreens look best in winter
When there's nothing left to hide
So pull back the leaves
And lower me
And we'll face what's inside
The days passed quickly
You're weak, turned to years
And I'd never felt so alive
Watching you waste tears
And I'm so glad we're still together
Cause I can't wait to haunt you forever
But the evergreens were gone by winter
Now nothing's left to remind
And I saw you with another
Have I slipped your mind?
And I never thought I'd envy you
But I'm the specter of what you choose
While you move on, I don't get to leave
So my soul will remain forever green
Evergreen
