For what it's worth I was happy just to make a friend.
But if I knew what for I'd throw it all away and start again.
For what it's worth I think about you every now and then.
It makes me realize what a fool I've been.

I just thought that you should
I just thought that you should know
The giving tree is giving up.
Oh your leech has bled me dry for the last time.
No the giving tree is giving up.
Oh am I sad to see you go or am I sad to see you?

It's hard to say what makes a person fade away to grey
Was I to blame or did it ever mean a thing to me?
(A thing to me)
I don't see a friend that doesn't want a charity.
I wish that time would release all the feelings that keep choking me.

I just thought that you should know
The giving tree is giving up
Oh your leech has bled me dry for the last time
No the giving tree is giving up
Oh am I sad to see you go or am I sad to see you?

One day I hope you realize
There's more to life
Then taking advantage
Of people and their good intentions.

No the giving tree is giving up
No the giving tree is giving up

Run to the holy ground (x7)

Run run run!

For the last time no! (x4)

Run to the holy ground (x4)
