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 it 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 anymore
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 anymore
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 anymore
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
