2 Birds
I'm a pebble in the ocean
I've washed away all my emotion
I'm falling deeper, their surrounding
I'm falling faster, but I'm not drowning
You're a feather in the sky
You were born knowing how to fly
You chased the rainbows all day
But you can't seem to fly away
What's worth more, what your given or what you earn?
Silver platters they tend to burn
You gotta earn it don't take, beause true love ain't fake
Don't look down, your eyes get clouded
Trust me, I know all about it
Just enduring doesn't mean your strong
What's helped you has hurt you all along
I've followed your words like a sinking star
Chasing the horizon that seemed so far
Staying up all night but I still have dreams
My life looks bleak but it ain't what it seems
I'm the feather and your the pebble
I'm flying high and your drowning in trouble
I've always chased your back, but I've been chasing shadows
Because you took your wings for granted and now they're in shackles
Locked up behind the cage in your heart
When the sun went down, your world fell apart
You let hatred consume you, so the darkness now rules you
You can't preach what you don't practice too
Looking back when you tell me to face forward, it's hypocrisy
Your a slave to your own philosophy
When you look too far ahead you lose sight of what's in front
You tried to be perfect but you weren't, if I were to be so blunt
You can't be perfect because your only human
But I don't care because you'll always be my woman
You wanted to be looked at and loved more and more
You wanted what was never given to you before
They looked at you with awe, and wanted you in spite of who you are
I looked at you with passion, and loved you because of who you are
We're each other's wings and we're each other's rocks
Together we'll fly farther and higher than any flocks
