She was a bird, I was an arrow
Both of us sure,
we were sword and a sparrow
Still when we flew, we never knew
There in the air, I felt her feathers
First all at once, then all together
When I went through,
that's when I knew
I'm a killer and a killer
is a bad, bad thing to be
She's a giver and a giver's
even worse to folks like me
Cause I never really wanna be
the one to hurt somebody
But it just keeps happening,
yeah it just keeps happening
I was a bird, he was an arrow
I was a lord,
by the straight and the narrow
What could I do, his aim was true
Straight to the heart, I let it happen
I couldn't hardly have ever imagined
That when he went through me
He'd hate what he's doing
And make me feel stupid
By choosing him too
Cause I'm a giver and a giver
Is a bad, bad thing to be
He's a killer and a killer's
Even worse for folks like me
Cause I never really wanna feel
the hurt from anybody
But it just keeps happening
Yeah, it just keeps happening
Yeah, it just keeps happening
Falling, never to fly again
Dialing, together when
everything's fading
The shade of the trees in the dark
I'm in love with the idea of dying
With you in my arms but not like this
We can 't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help
who we are
Damned to the end from the start
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are
Damned in the end from the start
We can't really help who we are
We can't really help who we are
She was a bird, was an ant
We were both of a sort
Damned in the end from the start
I was a bird,
we can't really help who we are
I can't really help who we are
