Sorry that I'm scared of thunder like a dog

I know that you love rain

Tail between my legs

I scratch while you relax

Ruffling feathers watching storm clouds pass

Digging in my claws to make you hate me too

I can't stand you in my bed

hurt me back instead

Where you'd never heard of creatures like me

Little bird won't you fly away

Little bird won't you fly away

And sorry that I roll over to my folks

I'm a hunting breed

And bird is all they eat

If they sniff you out, they gnash their teeth

I'm a coward scared of living outside

Even if it means I crush you at my side

When the bell rings
N.C.
My mouth waters
A A
I'm a habit
N.C.
That won't alter

I'm an instinct
Don't you fear me?

Hunting songbirds in my sleep
[Outro]
D A D A G
Sorry that I don't treat you like I should
D
I only lick my wounds
A D
Teeth bared, and snap
A G
"You're all that's good"
D
If I chase you away
A D A
I'm back to chasing tail
G D
Running circles after what was real
D A D A G
And maybe one day I'll catch it and I'll cry
D A D A G
Wishing that little songbird was still mine
