was separated from my chest,
when those words left your breath.
"I love her."
You walked away,
I will never forget.
I whispered
"Goodbye."
to you in the cold winter air.
God, Bless my heart.

I know you didn't mean it,
but it's just not fair..
The way you kiss my skin
when you're playing with my hair.

So close but something happened, I became afraid.
I go back to him again.
Ever-present, he is
tapping at my window, laying on my floor.
I am safe with him. Happy.
So close to letting love in, but I became afraid.
I go back to him again.
When will I break the cycle?

The common denominator is you;
it's always you.

My man is wiser than his years
He keeps me smiling through the tears
I dance underneath the stars
I am his blackbird.
