We scratched our names
In that oak tree
'Cause I loved you
And you loved me
A jagged little heart so the whole town knew it
Carved into the bark with an arrow through it
Well I came out here to see it one more time
And I got my chainsaw
Oh you know it's gotta go
It's such a shame y'all
But I ain't gonna be happy until those names fall
And I'm sittin' on a stump
Love is shady
Love is tragic
It's hard to bury the hatchet
Holdin' a chainsaw
I guess all those years
They don't mean a thing
Now I can't wait
To count those rings
Nothing left of us but dust and splinters
A big pile of wood to keep me warm through the winter
Oh 'Cause I...
I don't have you
But I got my chainsaw
Oh you know it's gotta go
It's such a shame y'all
But I ain't gonna be happy until those names fall
And I'm sittin' on a stump
Love is shady
Love is tragic
It's hard to bury the hatchet
Holdin' a chainsaw
I remember what you said that night
That you would love me for the rest of your life
We wrote forever with a pocketknife
But forever's goin' down tonight
'Cause I got my chainsaw
It's got to go
It's such a shame doll
But I ain't gonna be happy until those names fall
And I'm sittin' on a stump
Love is shady
Love is tragic
It's hard to bury the hatchet
Love is shady
Love is tragic
It's hard to bury the hatchet
Holdin' a chainsaw
