Cat With A Bird

Hunching your shoulders
Your head down and melancholy
Your lips turned down with a frown
You lift up your chin
Hair floating on you shoulders
All your troubles reflect in your eyes
All I want is to hold you
Take the weight and console you
But all my love seems to burn your confused heart

You push me a pull me, freeze me and scold me
No way to accept us and cancel the limbo when we're apart

I can't fathom your reasoning
My whole being is bleeding
Everything is a problem
Hell knows we've all got them
You cut us to pieces before we got started
And we both feel like shit now that we're parted

So darlin' cry yourself to sleep in my arms
The world is cruel and a cornucopia of harm
As I kiss your neck and stroke your hair
I reflect on how existence can be so unfair

Your passion burns as hot as coal
Your rejection cold as stone
It tears me apart to think of you alone

But I can't change your mind its yours alone
Although I want so badly for you to make up your mind and come home
You push me a pull me, freeze me and scold me
No way to accept us and cancel the limbo when we're apart

I laid my heart open
Now everything's broken
And your love is the love of a cat with a bird
