A Bird without A Nest

By midnights voice

A Bird without A Nest



Well I guess I knew it all along
You were singing to another's song
There was no harmony to our verse
So bad it couldn't be any worse

The words just never rhymed
Our life steps were out of time
And the way you always spared
The commitment was never there

Well like a bird without a nest
A rainbow without the rain
I see it all so clearly now
I see it through the pain

All the secrets you withheld
All those petty little lies
Every question never answered
Another tiny piece of me dies

Like a lake without it's water
A glacier without it's ice
You'd go dancing around the corner
To see who you could entice

So like a heart without it's soul
A sky without the blue
I'll guess I'll be moving on
Trying to forget about you

So like a bird without a nest
A rainbow without the rain
It's time to be moving on
I know it's for the best

    Very excellent use of metaphor throughout. Very close somehow, well written.

    love is NEVER an equal two-way street! one will always love more than the other... and sometimes "love" is never in the other's equation... except maybe "love of money" or whatever else they think you can provide... MV, I really like this one! ~worm~

    It's tough to feel like a piece of you is missing but since that person didn't care about you I think you're better off. Such well written lyrics.
