Camille Schmidt - Bird on a Telephone Wire

I’ve lived my whole life in shame
Like a child in the corner
Back turned away
It hurts me too when I’m on my knees
Begging you to play

I don’t wanna smile
It’s too dark inside my heart
I’m not gonna be your angel anymore
I’m tired of the part
You made fun of me in the driveway
I was trying not to cry
The sun was shining, blinding
But you could see it in my eyes

You swear that you love me
But boy you can be so mean
You promised tonight you’d touch me
And you’re still lit up by a screen

I feel like I’m on fire
Damn this is too hard
Would it kill you to lay down your video games and come into my arms
I thought the therapy was helping
At least helping me stay
Helping us take it
Day by fucking day
I have this dream I drink a potion
Turn my body to a bird
Perch on a telephone wire
Feel the wind and just observe
Feel and just observe
