lyrics

you've got a lifetime to hat yourself when you realize your mistake
and you realize you've realized just a moment too late
like a boy who's murdered his first bird
there wasn't a word in his ear to stop him from shooting the gun
but now that he's done he'll lay off the trigger just as his regret's begun

sometimes it takes a tear to let me know you're still here
and what i said can't be undone
hearts don't forgive
dead friendships wish to be unlived like losing minds wish for themselves to be won
its the truth for somebody
its the truth for someone
so before you're done, and although you're near,
i hope that i can remember all this was said in a tear

so while i'm tearing myself up and heaving both fists on the floor
don't let me forget that its me the moment's for
so who's heart's torn owes mine the pleasures of being weathered and worn
and if it wasn't for fun
don't ever again put my hand on the gun
in the wake of that moment you can trust yourself to truly see both directions
where regret's born and where your mind will be
and before you own up, the bird is left to bleed
alone and stuck in a moment you'd both do anything to leave

and you know what you did
the bird wants to sing
but because of you, kid
she can't get enough wind under her wings
you're left with a life to regret what you did
she don't even get time to clean
the blood off her chin
