Once, the blossom would come every yearAnd the leaves would be so greenAnd I would run out to the backyard to be a child againWhen the winter came, still it stood so proudAnd it was the only thing I could be sure ofNow the bark is torn, and this old chestnut is just no goodAnd a voice saysThis family tree is being felled todayAnd everything you thought was soWas sold with the landThe new owner has no plansThis family tree began to grow smallThrough years of abuse, it started to fallAnd so the family tree ends with meAnd so the family tree ends abruptlyI remember running to Nanna's houseIf I was in need of comfortWhen I was afraid of my father's temperAnd I wanted to feel lovedAnd the man who taught me how not to behaveWas the same man who didn't teach me how to shaveAnd a voice saysThis family tree is being felled todaySongtexteAnd everything you thought was soWas sold with the landThe new owner has no plansThis family tree began to grow smallThrough years of abuse, it started to fallAnd so the family tree ends with meAnd so the family tree ends abruptlyAnd so the family tree ends with meAnd so the family tree ends with me Aus Songtexte Mania
