[Verse 1]
There's a tree
Outside my home
The sidewalk's cracked
Out where its roots have grown
Someday came
And then left me alone
I should have known back then
That I stayed too long

[Chorus]
I should have known better[x4]
But I don't believe I can

[Verse 2]
If my feet
Could carve stone
They'd mark a monument
That is never wrong
I was a man
I turned to bone
I never moved and now my
My will is gone

[Chorus]
I should have known better[x4]
But I don't believe
No I don't believe
I don't believe I can
