Elliott Bluestein - Bird Lyrics

I'm a songbird with a fragile ego
I'm dynamite
But I'm rather difficult to light
They call me bright and quick
But I'm quick to quit

You should put your faith in religion
Before you put it in me
You'll play yourself
Praying for me

I can feel the breeze
Ruffle my wings
But it don't mean much to me
No it don't mean much to me

I'm a rare bird
Yes it's true
She said,
"I'll never love another quite like you"
I left her in the city and perched myself away

And now I feel so much pressure
I was born in blues
I might kill myself
Living for you

I can feel your plea
Ruffle my wings
But it don't mean much to me
No it doesn't mean much to me

It's not enough but I don't need much
Just a louder space
A heart to race
And I feel every cut
But it's not enough

It's not a chase it's a flight
Why'd you have to get all caught up in me
Now I gotta treat my body kindly
And that don't come easy to me

I'm a songbird with a fragile heart
I'm easy to hurt
But I'm no cute little lark
So don't you dare take pity
Cus' I'm a crooked, wretched thing

I can feel your hope for me
And it breaks my little bird heart
And it means way too much to me
Everything's too much to me
You mean too much to me

I'm a songbird with a fragile ego
I'm dynamite but I'm rather difficult to light
I'm a songbird with a fragile heart
