ladybird Lyrics

Am I a burden baby

Bite the burn on my lips

When you're sick of my skin

Slowly sinking in

I am the 'bird' in ladybird

Though I feel like a bug

When I cry and I tug

On your sleeve

But you don't want to leave

We don't know the people

And we don't know the sequel

And how this ends

It's a tug that you shrug so I sank and I shrunk

Til I'm mute and confused

Oh so small when I'm next to you

(Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you)

(Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you)

My arms are warm and torn

In this space I call an 'embrace'

(I know, I know)

Do you call it a hug for short?

I am tired of living so simple in taste

But now we are leaving and you want to drive me home

You told me I was only yours then two birds one stone

Your sleeve was slinging down, the urge to hold it but you'd press the break

We'd all be at a bigger stake of death

Just a tug will do

Just a tug will do

(Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you)

Mid-December I fantasise

Of the time I didn't long for you

Yet it didn't make me cry

I just sighed and cut my fingers too

From a song that I wrote back home

In my dress you caressed

Was I a mess?

My size was a letter written in your car

Oh I felt so tall

I felt so small

(Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you)

(Oh so small, oh so small, oh so small, oh so small when I'm next to you)

Feeling so big when I drive my own car

Loving you still when you open your arms

If I'm a bug I'm still craving a tug

Maybe this ladybird just wants to be loved

Feeling so big when I drive my own car

Loving you still when you open your arms

If I'm a bug I'm still craving a tug

Maybe this ladybird just wants to be loved (to be next to you)
