DEMETER:

You barely stopped to close the door

Left your footprints in the mud

And crumpled notes in the drawer

Did you ever stop to wonder

What’ll happen when the thunder

Starts comin’ to stay

And you’re still runnin away?

Has the apple fallen far?

Did the grain split from its stalk?

Has the flower been uprooted?

Did a chip break off the block?

After all I’ve worked to grow

Is it reaping what you sow

When the effort’s not enough to make

You hesitate to go?

Did you look before you crossed the road?

Did you ever think before you spoke?

Did you know my heart before it broke?

Did you mean to, did you know?

Well, I have nothing left to give

Cause until I see your face

I’ll have to wait to live

Let the harvest start to wither

Let my heart begin to bitter

As the winter stays

And you’re still runnin’ away

Has the apple fallen far?

Has the grain split from its stalk?

Has the flower been uprooted?

Did a chip break off the block?

Did you think to say goodbye?

Did you even stop to try?

When you left me in the ruins

Of a truth I can’t deny

Did you look before you crossed the road?

Did you ever think before you spoke?

Did you know my heart before it broke?

Did you mean to, did you know?

Why? (repeated)

CHORUS UNDERNEATH:

Has the apple fallen far?

Did the grain split from its stalk?

Has the flower been uprooted?

Did a chip break off the block?

After all I’ve worked to grow

Is it reaping what you sow

When the effort’s not enough to make

You hesitate to—

DEMETER:

Why?
