[Verse 1]
These pines are not the ones that I'm used to
They won't carry me home when I cry
Am I too far gone to recover
Or can I return if I try?
Should I trade my soul for another?
Learn not to complain anymore
Should I stay and pretend that I'm happy?
Like so many times before

[Chorus]
Yeah these pines are not mine
They don't smell so sweet
Like the ones in my mind
And I search the needles
'Til I run out of time
But I don't see you in these pines

[Verse 2]
Do I stumble or falter my words
When I'm saying everything is alright?
I'm not one to release my depression
But these trees bring it out every night
Well I don't talk 'cause I'm trying to listen
To the wind take me home through these leaves
But it's quiet and I don't hear nothing
'Cause the wind doesn't blow through these trees
[Chorus]
Yeah these pines are not mine
They don't smell so sweet
Like the ones in my mind
And I search the needles
'Til I run out of time
But I don't see you in these pines
No, I don't see you in these pines
