lyrics

walking home
took the long way again
on the side of the road
i found a
little bird stuck in the ditch
its left wing pierced with a stick
it cried out i gently picked it up
& took it in

& i tried to help it but it died
if i let it be it would’ve probably been fine
so i locked myself for days inside
& promised never again to even try

on the phone
with your voicemail again
tried to make it to the tone
but couldn’t
under the static & the tears
i would’ve said ‘i want you here’
& that i miss you & i’m sorry
for my stupid fears

well you tried to reach out but i lied
& told you ‘i’m busy—it’ll have to be next time’
now i lock myself for days inside
& i’m haunted by the fact i didn’t try
