Jaded Songbirds Songtext
I used to be red, but I bled and I bled
'Til I was drained of all I had inside of me
You fed and you fed
"Just a little more," you said
Still, I became a shell of who I used to be
Now my reflection is a lesson
That loves like an animal
Who needs affection? I object it
I don't want it here anymore
'Cause all that I've loved has started to haunt me
All that I've known has blown away in the wind
You've made it hard to trust another hand
But all these jaded songbirds
They keep on singing to the end
So I will try again
I used to be gold, but only silver sold
So I exchanged 'til I felt worthy of your love
And I used to sing high, but the echoes fell like knives
Oh, what a shame, I let 'em change who I've become
And all that I've loved has started to haunt me
All that I've known has blown away in the wind
You've made it hard to trust another hand
But all these jaded songbirds
They keep on singing to the end
So I will try again
Ah
Though my reflection is a lesson that loves like an animal
I refuse to deflect it, I will not be cynical of this world
When all that I've loved has started to haunt me
All that I've known has blown away in the wind
You've made it hard to trust another hand
But all these jaded songbirds
They keep on singing to the end
So I will try again
'Til I was drained of all I had inside of me
You fed and you fed
"Just a little more," you said
Still, I became a shell of who I used to be
Now my reflection is a lesson
That loves like an animal
Who needs affection? I object it
I don't want it here anymore
'Cause all that I've loved has started to haunt me
All that I've known has blown away in the wind
You've made it hard to trust another hand
But all these jaded songbirds
They keep on singing to the end
So I will try again
I used to be gold, but only silver sold
So I exchanged 'til I felt worthy of your love
And I used to sing high, but the echoes fell like knives
Oh, what a shame, I let 'em change who I've become
And all that I've loved has started to haunt me
All that I've known has blown away in the wind
You've made it hard to trust another hand
But all these jaded songbirds
They keep on singing to the end
So I will try again
Ah
Though my reflection is a lesson that loves like an animal
I refuse to deflect it, I will not be cynical of this world
When all that I've loved has started to haunt me
All that I've known has blown away in the wind
You've made it hard to trust another hand
But all these jaded songbirds
They keep on singing to the end
So I will try again
