Oh sweet sorrow My heart longs for you For your sting is harsh but your burdens are few You’ve warned my soul Time and time again I don’t know why I let you go then I caught a glimpse And I stumbled in its wake Closing my eyes to consequence and change Hope for all time It’s always the same We all know the trouble still remains I am but a bird on a string Arms out stretched as the walls cave in So take these thoughts I’d rather not mourn And I will fly away off into the dawn Where are my words? Where are my words? I’ve left them on the lips of angels high and heard So that they might whisper Something sweet to God That he might have mercy On me and my heart I am but a bird on a string Delivering a song to the one without wings So take these thoughts I’d rather not mourn And I will fly away off into the dawn I will surrender Old love like new Daylight brings slumber It never brought me you My heart now sleeps You’ve opened up my eyes I’ll remember you for the rest of my life ×3
