There's Always Been a Bird in Me Video (MV)

There's always been a bird in me
Even before I could speak
Caged in my ribs, carefully hid
Singing about things that aren't right in the world
Day and night, night and day
People always say to me, they always say
"Hey, what's your birds' name?"
And I say, "You and I
You and I"
Caged in my ribs
It's always been there, carefully hid
There's always been a bird in me
Who doesn't have a tree, who doesn't sleep
Who only sings when it hurts
And it always seems to hurt
In me

There's always been a bird in me
Even before I could speak
Caged in my ribs, that's just where it lives
Singing about things that aren't right in the world
And wrong in me, day and night, night and day
Doesn't have a tree, doesn't sleep
Never makes a peep except to say, "Hey, it's me"
Who only flies high where it can't be seen
Who only lands where it hurts
And it always seems to land in me
Who only knows how much you and I mean to me
Even before I could speak
There's always been a bird in me
Singing about things that aren't right in the world
Day and night, night and day

There's always been a bird
Who doesn't have a tree, doesn't sleep
Who only sings when it hurts
And it always seems to hurt
It always seems to hurt
It always seems to hurt in me

There's always been a bird in me
Even before I could speak
Caged in my ribs, carefully hid
There's always been a bird
There's always been a bird
There's always been a bird
In me
