Bird

You broke the fall the first night That I saw your hands shaking I fibbed, "I wasn't thinking of it" Just like my mom Type 1 with a problem Of losing your grip on the mind you live in You're everybody's baby bird They worry 'bout you still Your mama's eyes locking with mine I'll try, you know I will Many childish whims What a flight to begin All naïveté, no innocence I grew tired once the carnival ended Won't you be my friend? Don't you care what I said? You're everybody's baby bird They worry 'bout you still All that I need, I'll find it in me I'll try, you know I will When you fucked up bad I couldn't let you have it I swallowed the pain and threw it up in the drain I stopped smiling, and I started to try to say something I mean You didn't think it was me You're everybody's baby bird I made you mine for a time You never wanted for me to be honest When I leave, I don't tell you why
