Waiting for the sun to rise
looking for time to be on my side
I know its not
love is like a gunshot
That’s how love’s always been
It always hurts the same
You can’t ever get to me
Before you really see
Who I am and who you are
Could you please let us start

I wish for a bird to fly down to me
And sing me a song I’d wish you’d sing
To me when I slowly fall asleep
In the night, you will be there with me
Too bad I can’t see you at all
And you can’t watch me fall
Don’t make me watch your heart
Leave mine in an empty room again
Sometimes it hurts too much to pretend
That you’re still with me in my heart
Just the thought… makes me wanna fall apart

This isn’t fair enough
I tried so hard and you had to bluff
About how you think of me
It’s not as hard as it seems
To tell the truth and keep
My tears away when I speak
Love me for who I am
Your not even trying to make me fall again

This bird never flew to me
It never sung the song I’d wish you’d sing
To me when I slowly fall asleep
In the night, you will be right there with me
Too bad I can’t see you at all
You can’t watch me fall
Don’t make me watch your heart
Leave mine in an empty room again
Sometimes it hurts too much to pretend
That you’re still here with me in my heart
Just the thought… makes me want to fall apart.

Waiting for you to come around
Is more than I could bare
I have to sit and stare
At the cold heart that once was mine
At least I thought it was at the time
What would I know at all
You’d always let me fall

It’s hard to believe
You’re finally coming back to me
Sometimes I stop and think
Is the bird finally here to sing?

This bird flew down to me
I love the song it sung to me
The next time you came in
I heard that song out of your lips
You sung to me after I would sleep
In the night, you were right there with me
Now I can see you right there
You won’t leave me again
I won’t have to watch your heart
Leave mine in an empty room again
I don’t have to pretend
That you’re here with me
Because you always will be
Here with me
