Pretty Little Songbird

I had all the signs before me, posted along my inner state
With a reckless abandonment you bit down on the hand of fate

Never one for reckoning
Nursing your broken wing

Pretty little songbird, fallin’ apart
Pretty little songbird, lost in the dark
Pretty little songbird, lost the will to sing
I gave you everything
Thought I knew what to do to keep you from flying away

Like a saint preserved in stained glass, most delicate thing I’d ever seen
Now it seems you finally shattered, a labyrinth of broken peace

Time rolls on with you gone
Phantom echoes of your song

Pretty little songbird, fallin’ apart
Pretty little songbird, lost in the dark
Pretty little songbird, lost the will to sing
I gave you everything
Thought I knew what to do to keep you from flying away

I remember that last night, you were drunk in my truck
Told myself I was done watching you self destruct
I hope one day that I’ll understand
Why you did what you did when you made your stand

I keep on wondering if it was my fault
I keep on waiting for your call

Pretty little songbird, fallin’ apart
Pretty little songbird, lost in the dark
Pretty little songbird, lost the will to sing
I gave you everything
Thought I knew what to do to keep you from flying away
