Lyrics
Birds By The Sea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They always told me you never quite change
It's something 'bout the way
It's something 'bout the way you could be better than they say
They always warned me: Don't let him get in
If loving is a game
If loving is a game, then victory is in your name
Heard you live with a girl by the sea
Used to think it could be you and me
Heard she's having a baby now, how sweet
I thought of you with the birds
But you never sang for me
I never listened when you told me
You said it's hard how hard you lovе me
You say you never wanna lеave me
I shoulda known because you said it by the door
Oh, are you certain that you love me?
You were certain that you know
But your comfort zone is lonely
And you like to walk in circles on your own
Heard you live with a girl by the sea
Used to think it could be you and me
Heard she's having a baby now, how sweet
I thought of you with the birds
But you never sang for me
No, you never, ever sang for me
No, you never, ever sang
No, you never, ever sang for me
No, you never, never sang for me
But you never, never sang
No, you never, ever sang
