Lyrics
Songbird
He said I believe in happiness
She said I used to believe we would be
Only now it seems like the two of us
Are all that's left of me
And he said why,
Why can't you just make up your mind
She said I believe you when you tell me
That you love me more than yourself
But I don't know if I can surrender
This vision I have of myself
And he said why
Why can't you give me just a little more time
Songbird love ain't no cage
But I guess I've seen my better days
Cause now every time that the wind blows strange
You want to fly right out of here
So if you go
Please take this sadness with you
Cause I can't live here alone without you
I won't make it without you
And I shouldn't have to
The promise I've made
To you will remain unbroken
The last word unspoken
So why won't you stay
Songbird love ain't no cage
But I guess I've seen my better days
Cause now every time that the wind blows strange
You want to fly right out of here
