Little Bird
(专辑: Love Is Not Enough - 2016)
Lay awake or sleep for days, You wouldn't notice either way. Couldn't help you with your pain, But always hoped that you were safe. It took hours of silent phone calls for me to finally realise That just because you act with the
best of intentions It doesn't necessarily mean that you can't be wrong. I
thought my heart could be our home But all you thought of was the
cage. Praying for the
sun, Beneath my ribs you sat in shade. You were my little bird And I
saw fit to clip your wings, And then resented you because for me You never chose to sing. So there was silence in the
house, The
hallways echoed with a
growing doubt That we would never make it out Of the
hell that we created. I
guess that's why it never felt like home, Because we'd lay together but were still alone. Desperate for the
warmth of someone's comfort But not our own. We were always vacant, nothing more; We spoke until our throats were sore. Our hearts lay on the
bedroom floor, And one was mine, but both were yours. I'm sorry I
could never find the
words to say, I
had chewed them all into my tongue. But your negligence has left me frail. I
never asked to fall in love so young. I
know I
promised not to call again, But I've still got so much to say. I
hope to god that you are sleeping well, I
hope that someday you will ache the
way I
ache. Someday you will ache the
way I
ache. Someday you will ache the
way I
ache.
