	Story Behind the Song This song was written in 1997 or 1998 soon after a dragged out break-up. Lyrics If I could plant myself deep I'd be a tree for her And I'd give and I'd give Turning red in the autumn Never barren in the winter Firmly planted down I'd grow Freely But this illusion that she clings to That she calls being free Has trapped me Has trapped me Never free those lips to kiss Almost not free enough to say "I miss, I miss, I miss you! Please let me kiss you one last time Pretend that you're mine." But Mama says not to beg But I say, go right on ahead There's nothing you can’t say in a song Just as long as you mean it Don't be afraid to reveal it But this illusion that she clings to That she calls being free Has trapped me Has trapped me Never free to hold her close To say the things I want to say the most Soft and sexy whispered at night And it's all right If I wanna say it all night I wanna say it all night. But my arms are too thing to bear fruit And my legs are flesh and bone not root And time wears even stones thin And I'm not even a tree, I'm human And this illusion that you cling to That you call being free Has made me angry Has made me angry And I'm done being sad 'Cause I've given just about all that I had And I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm so fuckin' mad And you've gone and given up the best thing you ever had The best thing you ever had I'm the best thing you ever had I'm the best thing you'll ever have.
