bitter birdie Lyrics

She held it all together

For such a long long time

But then she lost her audience

And promptly lost her mind

Let it all fall down to pieces

Everything fell apart

Much too tired to get hired

Forget mend her broken heart

Bitter birdie

Not yet thirty

But tired of it all

Now that the world's all so connected

Her song it feels so small

La di la di la di la di la di la di lay

Watch it all go up in flames

La di la di la di la di la di lee

Throw the ashes in the sea

Bitter birdie, bitter birdie

Bitter birdie, bitter birdie

If a tree falls in the forest

When nobody's around

How is anybody certain

That it even makes a sound?

I shouted loud into the void

But it never shouted back

World's on fire

Preach to the choir

The train's all off its track

Bitter birdie

Not yet thirty

But tired of it all

Now that the world's all so connected

Her song it feels so small

Bitter birdie sings

La la la la la la la di lay

Watch it all go up in flames

The vultures come to play

Once the rest have gone away

And la la la la la la di lee

Throw the ashes in the sea

Rebuild it all with me

Put back together properly
