I know I′ve stayed too long

I know

You could be there, you could save my soul

Cover blistered tongues

It shows

People burn out, fires dying slow

What I once saw is gone

You've grown

Empty spaces now filled up with

Blue

Birds in my chest

But I won′t ever let them grow

I can feel them on my own

You

Follow the rest

Clipping wings that fall below

I know you hear them on your own

I know there's something wrong

Die slow

I might need you one day so don't go

I know you′re trying to break through my chest

I know I′m drowning you with cigarettes

Inside I know what's best so

Please don′t give up don't die yet

Blue

Birds in my chest

But I won′t ever let them grow

I can feel them on my own

You

Follow the rest

Clipping wings that fall below

I know you hear them on your own

If only you could show your true colors

Forget about opinions of others

Remember when our brains weren't smothered

By a television screen filled with five minute lovers

I hope it′s alright

But I can't open

You won't see those

Blue

Birds in my chest

But I won′t ever let them grow

I can feel them on my own

You

Follow the rest

Clipping wings that fall below

I know you hear them on your own

Blue

Birds in my chest

But I won′t ever let them grow

I can feel them on my own

You

Follow the rest

Clipping wings that fall below

I know you hear them on your own
