lyrics

Why Do You Fly Away Little Bird?

We used to paint the town
We used to boogie down
We used to have some fun

We’d take vacation
You would get elation
Just by lying in the sun

Now there is tension
Do I have to mention
All of the sins
That you accuse me of
Don’t wanna lose your love
But the heartache still begins

I like to sing a song
But you don’t sing a long
You’re always on your phone

You say I drive too fast
You say my luck won’t last
I’ll crash and break my bones

Baby you’re not with me
You don’t wanna give me
Any of your time
You sleep on the couch
I become a grouch
Oh baby, it’s a crime

Chorus
Why do you fly
Why do you fly away little bird?
Why do you cry
Why do you sigh and say silly words?
Like I don’t know you
What you’re going through
And you don’t know what to do

Baby let me change it
Help me rearrange it
Give us both another chance.
