The Bird Song

She was a bird, I was an arrow Both of us sure we were sword and a sparrow Still, when we flew, we never knew (ooh) There in the air, I felt her feathers First all at once, then all together When I went through, that's when I knew (ooh) I'm a killer, and a killer is a bad, bad thing to be She's a giver, and a giver's even worse to folks like me 'Cause I never really wanna be the one (never) To hurt somebody (wanna hurt someone) But it just keeps happening (why?) Yeah, it just keeps happening, yeah (why?) I was a bird, he was an arrow I was allured by the straight and the narrow What could I do? His aim was true Straight to the heart, I let it happen I couldn't hardly have ever imagined That when he went through me, he'd hate what he's doin' And make me feel stupid for choosin' him too 'Cause I'm a giver, and a giver is a bad, bad thing to be He's a killer, and a killer's even worse for folks like me 'Cause I never really wanna feel (never) The hurt from anybody (wanna feel the hurt) But it just keeps happening (why?) Yeah, it just keeps happening (why?) Yeah, it just keeps happening Falling, never to fly again Darling, together when everything's fadin' The shade of the trees in the dark I'm in love with the idea of dyin' with you in my arms But not like this We can't really help who we are We can't really help who we are We can't really help who we are Damned to the end from the start We can't really help who we are We can't really help who we are We can't really help who we are Damned to the end from the start We can't really help who we are We can't really help who we are (she was a bird) We can't really help who we are (I was an arrow) (Both of us sure, we were sword and a sparrow) Damned to the end from the start (I was a bird) We can't really help who we are (he was an arrow) We can't really help who we are
