She was a bird
I was an arrow
Both of us sure we were
Sword and a sparrow
Still when we flew
We never knew
There in the air
I felt her feathers
First all at once
Then all together
When I went through
That's when I knew
I'm a killer and a killer is a bad, bad thing to be
She's a giver and a giver's even worse to folks like me
Cuz I really never wanna be the one to hurt somebody
But it just keeps happening, yeah, it just keeps happening
I was a bird
He was an arrow
I was allured by
The straight and the narrow
What could I do?
His aim was true
Straight to the heart
I let it happen
I couldn't hardly
Have ever imagined that
When he went through me
He'd hate what he's doing and
Make me feel stupid for choosing him to cuz
Im a giver and a giver is a bad, bad thing to be
He's a killer and a killers even worse for folks like me
Cuz I never really wanna feel the hurt from anybody
But it just keeps happening, yeah, it just keeps happening
Yeah, it just keeps happening
Falling
Never to fly again
Darling
Together when everything's
Fadin
The shade of the trees
In the dark
I'm in
Love with the idea of
Dying
With you in my arms but not
Like this
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are
Damned to the end from the start
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are
Damned to the end from the start
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are (She was a bird, I was an arrow)
We can't really help who we are (Both of us sure we were, sword and a sparrow)
Damned to the end from the start (I was a bird, he was an arrow)
We can't really help who we are
