Don’t tell me I’m the one I wouldn’t want to be the one I wouldn’t want to know Yeah, there’s context of course These are temporary thoughts I think one day they’ll go Yes, I know I love you, but as time goes on I think we’ll both get hurt And we keep clinging on whilst We treat each other like we don’t deserve When we met you gave me a necklace Of a bird you said didn’t have a home I can’t remember for sure but I think it was a type of swallow Sometimes I think we both knew from start that this was doomed Please know my love I treasure all the time I spent with you And truth be told I’m so unsure if I should even walk away But I keep clinging on whilst knowing That I treat you worse everyday I am distant in mind and I am distant in body Even with me by your side you’ll be inevitably lonely And of one thing I’m sure it’s that you deserve more I am selfish and distracted, some weeks barely interacted I am difficult and late I do not save the date I have myself prioritised I ask your help and time I so rarely give you mine When we met you gave me a necklace Of a bird you said didn’t have a home I can’t remember for sure but I think it was a type of swallow Sometimes I think we both knew from start that this was doomed Please know my love I treasure all the time I spent with you And now I feel like such a fool for this to be what I choose As if you weren’t enough Because I can say that I’ve never felt as love I can’t apologize more for my absence of emotion I know this song I write for you is just a selfish token Although there’s pain in the end I would love to remain your friend Break the past and make amends And learn to love you again in a new way
