Lyrics
Passing Bird
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.
She's got black hair
and she has got a black dress
She's pretending
that her life is a mess
But I cannot rest
with so many worries
I can't lie down
and say I am done
I live 'cause I need more light
I hope I can change today
She would never think of changing
too much fucking emo, it's false (I know)
She's got black hair
And she has got a black dress
She's pretending
That her life is a mess
She stops me in the street
And asks me to follow
I would if I could
If I wouldn't mind breaking her.
And I cannot rest
With so many worries
I can't lie down
And say I am done
I live 'cause I need more light
I hope I can change today
She would never think of changing
Too much fucking emo, it's false I know
I live 'cause I need more light
I hope I can change today
She would never think of changing
Too much fucking emo, it's false I know
.
