"Chainsaw" lyrics

Chainsaw

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 got to go
It's such a shame y'all
But I ain't gonna be happy
Till those names fall
And I'm sitting on a stump

Love is shady
Love is tragic
It's hard to bury the hatchet
Holding 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
Cause I, I don't have you

But I got my chainsaw
Oh, you know it's got to go
It's such a shame y'all
But I ain't gonna be happy
Till those names fall
And I'm sitting on a stump

Love is shady
Love is tragic
It's hard to bury the hatchet
Holding a chainsaw

Just holding a little chainsaw

I remember what you said that night
That you would love me for the rest of your life
We wrote "Forever" with a pocket knife
But forever's going down tonight

Cause I got my chainsaw
It's got to go
It's such a shame y'all
And I ain't gonna be happy
Till those names fall
And I'm sitting 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
Holding a chainsaw
Chain, chain, chainsaw
