Black Birdie - Emotional Baggage lyrics
[Black Birdie - Emotional Baggage lyrics]
Gentilly, expertly, carefully, tenderly
You crept into my life
On the edge, holding back
Fending off your attacks
Through pain, struggle, and strife
Now the darkness is back again
But I can fight it
So long as my soul survives
No one can save me, so go on and leave me
To lay here until I die
You want me to talk about my problems
You understand but d’you have
Answers to solve ‘em
You cannot handle my emotional baggage
‘Cause you were delivered to me
As a fragile package
You don’t know what I go through
All 365 days of the year
Because I live my life in constant fear of
Trippin’ and tumblin’, flippin’ and fumblin’
I’m clumsy cause I’m a dramatic bitch
I won’t let you see that I’m weak
Turn your cheek
Protecting my own, I’m no little kid
You want me to talk through my problems
But on my own
I think I’ve already solved ‘em
You cannot handle my emotional baggage
‘Cause you were delivered to me
As a fragile package
You don’t know what I go through
All 365 days of the year
Only ever lived a life in constant fear of
Loneliness and being an outcast
Hoping for first place only to get last
The existential dread of knowin' that
One day we'll die
The fear to spread my wings again
The fear to fly (Fly)
Maybe you can handle my emotional baggage
(Oh yeah) because you’re the postman and
I’m the fragile package
You should know what I go through
All 365 days of the year
To make it easier to live in fear (yeah)
You crept into my life
On the edge, holding back
Fending off your attacks
Through pain, struggle, and strife
Now the darkness is back again
But I can fight it
So long as my soul survives
No one can save me, so go on and leave me
To lay here until I die
You want me to talk about my problems
You understand but d’you have
Answers to solve ‘em
You cannot handle my emotional baggage
‘Cause you were delivered to me
As a fragile package
You don’t know what I go through
All 365 days of the year
Because I live my life in constant fear of
Trippin’ and tumblin’, flippin’ and fumblin’
I’m clumsy cause I’m a dramatic bitch
I won’t let you see that I’m weak
Turn your cheek
Protecting my own, I’m no little kid
You want me to talk through my problems
But on my own
I think I’ve already solved ‘em
You cannot handle my emotional baggage
‘Cause you were delivered to me
As a fragile package
You don’t know what I go through
All 365 days of the year
Only ever lived a life in constant fear of
Loneliness and being an outcast
Hoping for first place only to get last
The existential dread of knowin' that
One day we'll die
The fear to spread my wings again
The fear to fly (Fly)
Maybe you can handle my emotional baggage
(Oh yeah) because you’re the postman and
I’m the fragile package
You should know what I go through
All 365 days of the year
To make it easier to live in fear (yeah)
