old song

An old song..

broken birds

I know love is a weed
and every book that I read confirms
it grows when you're sleeping alone

here in my bed
not a tear will I shed for you
'cause this broken bird has flown

alright
you know I'm lying
you were right
even a broken wing
won't keep a bird from flying

I'm helping you pack
wondering what I lack
it kills me that you're kinda relieved

you want to be friends
I'd rather we not pretend
just don't make me watch you leave

oh no
here comes the lesson
now I know
every true happiness
is followed by depression

I'm thinking really, really bad thoughts
like, where do you really get off
saying I'm emotionally distant?
I got a couple bones I wanna pick
you've got a heart like cold broken brick
and your gratitude is nonexistent
(sister let me tell you)

you're gonna cry
just give it a little time
and you'll be balling too

it's a matter of time
it's a hill that we both climbed
I just started falling faster than you

oh no
here comes the moral
now I know
you gotta let the bird fly
even if you do not want to

fly away
fly away
fly away
