"Shallow Roots"

I dig in deep
Just to reap
Some shallow expectations
Rooted deep in hesitation
Where's your faith
That love can replicate
When you sew beneath the surface
Full of meaning, love with purpose

I see you start to open up
But never really bloom
Spring has sprung, but in your mind
The winter's always coming soon

So I will uproot
Replant back where I started
You'll never question if you're wrong
Just what a shame that I departed
And you'll rephrase
Every argument until you feel okay
With all the seeds you swept away

I always keep
Heart on sleeve
Withdraw when you disarm me
With your apathetic army
Full of disregard
With no alarm
Bitter brothers, hearts are hardened
When your words should be a garden
Full of life

So I will uproot
Replant back where I started
You'll never question if you're wrong
Just what a shame that I departed
And you'll rephrase
Every argument until you feel okay
With all the seeds you swept away

It's always the same
The seasons change
But always cycle round again
And you remain
So rooted in your ways
It's hard to say this ground
Could ever be reclaimed
It's hard to say
