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
