Why can't I do anything right
Why do I cry myself to sleep at night
Why don't I have the courage to say goodbye
but I see the future in your eyes
the "she" will be free
the close relatives are key
to my adventures to the sea
when we get there, there's a fee
I have to carry a bird with me
The cardinal will scream in my ear
I won't hear it, cause you have no fear
you take my hand, say it's ok
and together we sit
The bird won't stop yelling on my other side
It says "try harder to confide
in me or go hide"
You hold me and say no need to fight
I complain about how I want wings to get away
You say "let's get that sand out of your hair."
The bird flies around me
it's still there when we leave
I sit down on our way out
It'll come and say "you need to pay"
And dig her talons into my back
Making me cry and turn grey.
I look at you and smile
cause we both know it's been a while
sense we came to the sea
sense the scars began to pile
scars from the birds that crawl their way inside
we've grown used to their kind of torture
in my pain you will find
that I'm in quite a bind
The story isn't done
the lights don't fade, the credits don't roll
You pull me out of my dead end and say
"I'm here, I'm your friend"
You seem to be the only one
That says they've become fond of an idiot
fond of nothing fun
that's it the red cardinal has won
this little game it likes to play
it hurts, but I'm ok
I'll grow thick skin so I don't get burnt
So I don't pay for a warmer shirt
Cause you're the one and only
the only heart I own
The one person I don't owe
with time and an old foe
