It's a bluebird on my shoulder
I couldn’t kill it if I wanted too
The thing is sometimes I get so
Mad with you
I have to talk to
Myself to calm down before I
Mess around and injure you
I’m not trying to say that I’m
Going to hurt you it's nothing
Like that before I do that I’ll
Throw in the towel
turn down My hat covering
my eyes in case I reach back
catch you by the neck take your life
In the middle of a double take
It’s not you it’s the things you say
Make me shake my fist walking
Away from conflicts convicting me
You have a way of getting under
My skin like tattoo ink you go deep
Touching every hidden unawaken
Part of me you say you do so I guess
You love me truth is I’m sick
Tired of the push and pull it don’t
Make sense to me it stops my heart
In mid beat palpitating my energy
Like riding a roller coaster
too many Ups and downs for you
I jump so much My feet are hardly
on the ground I have beaten
my feelings are black and blue
Because of you when I think back
To times we laughed and talked
To each other as if time didn't exist
gravitating toward emotions I can't
explain
feeling like I'm going to waste
still I can't complain to the pain
the cause and effect of splitting
my brain
I don't have it in me to love
someone else so I keep these
butterflies of mines too myself
safely locked in a box
to keep from telling you the
movement inside has passed
like a baby has died in my womb
we use to sing together I'm gone
solo don't think the bands getting
back together the bond is broken
its written every words has been
spoken Now I end this note I must go
Before I have to apologize for the
Untimely demise of a bluebird
On my shoulder pecking at me
as if I have not a shed of feeling
