Races - Song of Birds lyrics

I'm still learning how to untie love And I've pulled apart almost everyone But teeth and claws and all unwanted dreams They're still binding you to me I don't blame you I don't mind The way I'll forget about you in time This morning I awoke to the sound of birds And I understood all their words They spoke of the sky and tales of when They'd dance on clouds and fight the wind And all those sides of you I've seen I don't know which to believe I much prefer being alone With the birds and their songs Cuz they won't leave I remember winter in Nemours And making love on your bedroom floor Those memories won't ever leave They keep on coming back to me Love is like a host It swears to provide But the favor expires in time Last night I dreamed you came back Your sweet blue eyes, they had turned to black You were smiling, bruised, and scratched You'd been had And now you've gone bad And all those sides of you I've seen Which would you have me believe I am trying to prefer being alone With the birds
