D# A# Cm G#
I will lay down next to you
Stay in bed all afternoon
We were birds of a feather
We were always together
And I never will forget
All the little things you said
And that beautiful summer
You used to call me your love bird.
But the time went on
The wind has blown
And I have grown
And I started a feeling
That my wings have been broken

I want the world at my feet
Even if it's bittersweet
I wanna stand on my own and
Hold my heart in my own hands.

That you and me
Are different breeds.
So I gotta be leaving,
Gotta get back to breathing
