Bird on the Wire

There goes that damn bird on my fencepost
She cries, she cries
Do you know? Do you know?
Yeah, it's apparent she's gone and there she'll stay
No phone call or a sign of a note
Of a note
She looked at me so seriously
I could have sworn love was in her eyes
But now she's gone and I'm singing this song
To a lonely random bird on the wire
She always was the type who thought love was a chore
No matter what she had, she wanted more
She wanted more
And even as I breathed her in, felt her skin so tight
I never did seem to fit her right
And she found the door
She found the door
She looked at me so seriously
I could have sworn love was in her eyes
But now she's gone and I'm singing this song
To a lonely random bird on the wire
Don't ask me what it is about the girls who play hard to get
She swore eternally that she loved me
I never want to counter that
There goes that damn bird on my fencepost
She cries, she cries
Do you know? Do you know?
