Green Thumb

I planted a seed long ago Couldn't find it in the winter snow Frost froze the leaves I thought I had a green thumb like my grandma Silly me Left with no fruit Leaves are slowly fading They say that grass is greener on the other side I'm running out of patience I can't keep up with the tide Every light I'm chasing Just gets buried alive Are these growing pains or am I rotten I've forgotten Somedays I visit that old tree It's crooked leaves have turned brown from green I scream but no one hears me The other branches reach the sun I'm still numb Always on the run from the darkness when the clouds come rolling in They say that grass is greener on the other side I'm running out of patience I can't keep up with the tide Every light I'm chasing Just gets buried alive Are these growing pains or am I rotten Cause I've forgotten I'm running out of patience I can't keep up with the tide Every light I'm chasing Just gets buried alive Are these growing pains Are these growing pains Are these growing pains or am I rotten I've forgotten
