The Bird Song

[00:00.01] She was a bird, I was an arrow

[00:04.70] Both of us sure we were sword and a sparrow

[00:08.70] Still, when we flew, we never knew (ooh-ooh)

[00:17.19] There in the air, I felt her feathers

[00:21.19] First all at once, then all together

[00:25.42] When I went through, that's when I knew (ooh-ooh)

[00:33.13] I'm a killer, and a killer is a bad, bad thing to be

[00:37.38] She's a giver, and a giver's even worse to folks like me

[00:41.38] 'Cause I never really wanna be the one (never)

[00:44.24] To hurt somebody (wanna hurt someone)

[00:45.49] But it just keeps happening (why?)

[00:47.62] Yeah, it just keeps happening (why?)

[00:58.50] I was a bird, he was an arrow

[01:02.68] I was allured by the straight and the narrow

[01:06.74] What could I do? His aim was true

[01:15.09] Straight to the heart, I let it happen

[01:19.34] I couldn't hardly have ever imagined

[01:22.99] That when he went through me, he'd hate what he's doin'

[01:27.18] And make me feel stupid for choosin' him, too

[01:31.16] 'Cause I'm a giver, and a giver is a bad, bad thing to be

[01:35.14] He's a killer, and a killer's even worse for folks like me

[01:39.39] 'Cause I never really wanna feel (never)

[01:41.68] The hurt from anybody (wanna feel the hurt)

[01:43.53] But it just keeps happening (why?)

[01:45.41] Yeah, it just keeps happening (why?)

[01:53.92] Yeah, it just keeps happening

[02:05.33] Falling, never to fly again

[02:10.38] Darling, together when everything's fadin'

[02:17.30] The shade of the trees in the dark

[02:24.46] I'm in love with the idea of dyin' with you in my arms

[02:33.22] But not like this

[02:36.35] We can't really help who we are

[02:41.15] We can't really help who we are

[02:45.92] We can't really help who we are

[02:50.97] Damned to the end from the start

[02:55.48] We can't really help who we are

[03:00.26] We can't really help who we are

[03:05.04] We can't really help who we are

[03:10.08] Damned to the end from the start

[03:14.61] We can't really help who we are

[03:19.11] We can't really help who we are (she was a bird)

[03:23.64] We can't really help who we are (I was an arrow)

[03:26.29] (Both of us sure)

[03:28.14] (We were sword and a sparrow) damned to the end from the start

[03:30.73] (I was a bird)

[03:33.12] We can't really help who we are (he was an arrow)

[03:37.64] We can't really help who we are
