Saw a penny in a stream
Shining bright from underneath
But you never thought yourself a thief
So you went ahead and let it be
When I'm gone are you going to miss me?
Are you even listening?
Do you even care about anything at all?
Saw an apple in a tree
Stole away among the leaves
Had a thought that you would plant the seed
But you couldn't seem to bury me
The copper coin will drift away
The fruit will fall to rot someday
You won't recall a word I say
I guess it really doesn't matter
When I'm gone are you going to miss me?
Are you even listening?
Do you even care about anything at all?
I should have known you'd break my heart
I should have seen it from the start
