Love is a journey, we’ve gone astray, this romance just jumped the shark
Now unspoken, my sat nav broken, I’m getting lost in the dark
I hoped the stars would guide the way but thick clouds shroud the view
I caught a bus but it got away, it got away just like you

All you say is the same cliché
But it’s pointless to raise the bar
If all it takes to halt a journey
Is a former friend in a brand new car

I’m overwhelmed and undermined
As you flood me with your lies
Tell me how am I to deal
With such an unsought surprise

I wrote your name on a tree, baby
Why on Earth did you do this to me?
I wrote your name on a tree

Went around to your apartment, the weather’s great, the timing’s not
Interrupted early on, I got stranded in the parking lot
At a time when the judgement’s busy and the heart is too naive
A licence plate I knew too well politely asked me to leave

All you say is the same cliché
I’m out of luck and we’re out of time
I’d meet you, but we’re parallel tracks
And I can’t see the horizon line

Just the tree, that has seen so much,
Now all it sees are your lies
And it seems I’ll walk alone
Now you’ve got somebody else to drive

I wrote your name on a tree, baby
Why on Earth did you do this to me?
I wrote your name on a tree
Love is a journey, we’ve gone astray
All you say is the same cliché
I went around to your apartment, but
I had to see, that the tree had been cut
The tree has been cut
The tree has been cut
The tree has been cut
