Lyrics

Holes in the wall tell a story of a day when the tall would fall and the mute would speak. Say the words that we long to hear, when we fear the worst. Way down deep inside no sign of light where the darkness hides. Simple plans are complicated . Don’t look now we’re almost faded.
Piece by piece we’ll build it up, just to tear it down. Slowly turn your head to find no one’s around.

If the plans weren’t meant to last then we made it baby. Got a broken heart to humiliate and fading lights to commemorate. As the seasons changed, the sun went down, where we stood I stand alone. Whatever I’ve got to do, whatever I’ve got to do… Songbird it wasn’t you.… Songbird it wasn’t you.

Don’t remember when butterflies were in my stomach and I danced within. Longed to be by your side. Steal a glance only to hide. With you next to me I was the one. I was a king. Laughter turns to sorrow...and with each day a new tomorrow.

If the plans weren’t meant to last then we made it baby. Got a broken heart to humiliate and fading lights to commemorate. As the seasons changed, the sun went down, where we stood I stand alone. Whatever I’ve got to do, whatever I’ve got to do… Songbird it wasn’t you.… Songbird it wasn’t you.

I won’t spend the night. I want to stay the night. Nothing here for me. Yet I keep coming back to you. Yeah, I keep coming back to you. Is this what we’re supposed to do. Can’t keep carrying on.
