Little Bird

I saw you that fateful night
That ended up in you see me watch the sunrise
It all makes me think, won't forget a thing
We were inseparable
Until we weren't anymore
Like a flash of lightning, you walked out the door

I thought you'd make my dreams come true
But it was too soon to believe
That you'd be my rainbow
when you were just passing through
Fly little bird, fly away

I knew we were scarred in the same places
By similar things, I felt your skin
We were imperfectly perfect in the face of bad timing
Everyone's gotta fly someday
Even when they say they'll stay
I couldn't stand the thought of knowing you
Better than yourself

I thought you'd make my dreams come true
But it was too soon to believe
That you'd be my rainbow
when you were just passing through
Fly little bird, fly away

Just a little while ago
I was someone's little bird
Gone in the blink of an eye
Without a trace in the sky
Guess the hurt always finds a way back

I thought you'd make my dreams come true
But it was too soon to believe
That you'd be my rainbow
when you were just passing through
Fly little bird, fly away
Mm
