Bluebirds (Stripped)

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 tryng 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 colours
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
