Dido - Blackbird lyrics
[Dido - Blackbird lyrics]
He put the c- he put the c-
He put the c- he put the c- he put the c-
He put the coffee in the cup and
With milk he filled it up
He added sugar and I never knew
He liked it like that
He took his coat from the hook
And his scarf and his hat
And he put down the key and
Said "I won't be needing that"
And he turned and smiled as
If that explained it all
And he walked down the hall
And he opened the door
And said "of course I'll call"
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
Now, there's a black black black
Bird in my chest
All a flutter and all caged in
Wanting to break free with the
Wolves in my head
Who tear at every wise thing
I should have said
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
We're not the strangers we were
When we first met
But the kind of strangers at the end
And all that remains is a day without plans
Where I won't be missed
Another handful of sand
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
He put the c- he put the c- he put the c-
He put the coffee in the cup and
With milk he filled it up
He added sugar and I never knew
He liked it like that
He took his coat from the hook
And his scarf and his hat
And he put down the key and
Said "I won't be needing that"
And he turned and smiled as
If that explained it all
And he walked down the hall
And he opened the door
And said "of course I'll call"
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
Now, there's a black black black
Bird in my chest
All a flutter and all caged in
Wanting to break free with the
Wolves in my head
Who tear at every wise thing
I should have said
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
We're not the strangers we were
When we first met
But the kind of strangers at the end
And all that remains is a day without plans
Where I won't be missed
Another handful of sand
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
