Bird City Lyrics

Wasn't hidden but I thought you couldn't see

Made a promise that I knew I couldn't keep

In forever is a distant luxury

I'm not there now and I know I'll never be

It's funny when you never gotta face it

New car pocket money dinner always makes it whole

It's not fair

It's not fair

I'm sick of it!

I ran out of options

The rich kids

They make their little jokes

I don't laugh

I don't laugh

It's the space age

But we've got no money

He knows not what he does

Just like a little boy

He don't care

He don't care!

I've tried it

I'll tell you I know right now it won't work

Don't fight it

It happens for a reason you just need to

Trust

In your senses

When there's nowhere to call

Cause there'll be one day when your friends won't wanna take the fall

But it's so easy

When you're playing it off

You don't even look like you've been trying hard at all

Let's not talk around it

I see what you're doing

You're hiding in plain sight

Pretend you don't care

It's not fair

It's not fair!

I'm sick of it!

I've been here too often

Speak in hollow voices

Saying nothing at all

It's just air

It's just air

Is it bad intention

Or overcompensating

A textbook misguided youth

With a brand new toy

He won't share

He won't share

I'm useless

I don't know any way to pay my debt

Consider

You haven't done no good for anybody else

But yourself man

And that's no way to be

And in our worst moments we expect more out of you than me

But it's so easy

When you're playing it off

You won't even look like you've been trying hard at all

I don't care if you don't want to go back home

Never seen you any other time feel so bold

In another life we'd be stuck outside in the cold

But until that day, I'll be loving you on my own, darling

Now I hate to hear you talk like that when there's no one else around

Cause there's no comfort in romanticizing your own hell

But it's so easy when there's nowhere to be

And there ain't nobody who knows better now than you or me, oh
