I’m like a bird in a cage not yet set free
Because with you I’m a bird attached to a string
I can fly around but can’t go too far
Because you’re afraid I’ll leave.
I can sing my songs
But only to your taste
I can spend time with you
But you think most of it goes to waste.
When I talk too much and you don’t seem to like it
You just turn the lights off and call it a night and
Birds are a pair that lives together forever
But I’m like a parakeet and you’re like a penguin
I’m colorful. I fly and I sing
And you get jealous because you can’t do those things
So you get jealous and pull tighter on that string
Because you’re afraid I’ll leave.
But birds of a feather flock together and
The boy sent his pigeon with a message and said
“I’ll see you later.”
And he always does.
