She used to fly and twist, She used to jump and dive, She used to perch on countertops and dream. She used to be candy-cane letters and too- bright feathers, golden glows and angel halos. She used to give love out like it was something that came free, but in time, she realized, “Now there’s nothing left for me.” She used to fly across the sky, she used to twist through the air. Places used to be safe, homes used to be warm; Now she sits and waits for love, forevermore. Because before she curved and before she bled, she used to fly across the sky she used to twist through the air. She used to jump and dive, there used to be a fire somewhere inside But she curved and bled, too sick to leave her bed, waiting for her bitter end thinking, “They used to call me dove.”

they used to call me dove
She used to fly and twist, She used to jump and dive, She used to perch on countertops and dream. She used to be candy-cane letters and too- bright feathers, golden glows and angel halos. She used to give love out like it was something that came free, but in time, she realized, “Now there’s nothing left for me.” She used to fly across the sky, she used to twist through the air. Places used to be safe, homes used to be warm; Now she sits and waits for love, forevermore. Because before she curved and before she bled, she used to fly across the sky she used to twist through the air. She used to jump and dive, there used to be a fire somewhere inside But she curved and bled, too sick to leave her bed, waiting for her bitter end thinking, “They used to call me dove.”
