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
pause
There in the air
I felt her feathers
First all at once
Then all together
When I went through
That's when I knew
pause
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
pause
I was a bird
He was an arrow
I was allured
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
For choosing him too
'Cause I'm a giver and a giver is a bad, bad thing to be
He's a killer and a killers 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
Darling
