Songbird

I was your songbird for a time

Sang you to sleep 'til the words weren't right

You always kept your back to the light

I'd count your breaths 'til the sun would rise

I was your songbird, you were nice

Oh, how I loved being the thing you liked

I had a room where I could fly

'Til I hit the ceiling I thought was my sky

Ooh, I don't know where to go, what I'm doing

Ooh, only know what I've lost if I lose it

I can't give you any more

My bones feel hollow, my throat's getting sore

Nothing's fair in love and war

Your favorite songs, they aren't mine anymore

Loved being somebody good for you

Wish that you were good for me too

We both know I have to leave

But I hope a songbird will always remind you of me

Tried to bring you to the sky

I can't force out your fear of heights

It's not your fault, babe, it's alright

The same thing looks different to two sets of eyes

Ooh, I don't know where to go, what I'm doing

Ooh, I still love you and that's so confusing

I can't give you any more

My bones feel hollow, my throat's getting sore

Nothing's fair in love and war

Your favorite songs, they aren't mine anymore

Loved being somebody good for you

Wish that you were good for me too

We both know I have to leave

But I hope a songbird will always remind you of me

Don't mean to be cold (Oh, it's not you)

Sitting in your clothes (I don't want to)

But I gotta go (Oh, it's not you)

(Oh, it's not you, oh, it's not you)

I can't love you any more

My bones feel hollow, my throat's getting sore

Nothing's fair in love and war

Your favorite songs, they aren't mine anymore

Loved being somebody good for you (Loved being good for you, wish that you were good for me)

Wish that you were good for me too (Wish that you were good for me, wish that you were good for me)

We both know I have to leave

But I hope a songbird will always remind you of me
