Birdy - Timelines lyrics

Now I know the importance of timelines and dates

They would change everything

If I knew when your feelings and songs rang out

I'd know which ones ring true

And what to do

For now I assume the hate and distain was just your rage talking

But that's the hope in me

I don't understand how a husband could wish for his wife to hate him

Wish for her to leave

Why you don't want me to try to understand or forgive

I know what my blind eyes and mind tell me that means

You want me to leave

You want me to leave

You don't need or want me to understand and be there

For you to be my man

You've got your backup plan

Yes I recall

You didn't sign anything at all

So you hold my life in your hands

And it's my turn to lose everything

When all along I thought with you is where I belonged

I just need a sign

Something more clear

I've given you the option of me walking away

You know for you there is nothing I will say

But I do not and can't be where I am hated

And you know if you wanted hate

I could easily let it flow

But I thought

But I thought

Oh god I thought you felt the same

All I need to know

Is which way to go

I've given you all you need

As all I ever had was my heart

God tell me you haven't wasted all these years hoping to find something else

You've succeeded in breaking my heart

A couple times

So that can't be why

I don't want you to be so miserable

So if it's me that must go

I will go

I will go

If I am your life

Then get rid of your backup plan

And tell me your MY man

You can't tell me this town doesn't have enough bad things going on

That focusing on breaking me down was what all this time was for

Oh I understand what ghosts are for

But all I've ever had is a heart to give

A broken heart to give

You made it whole

Then crushed it

Made it whole

Then crushed it

I've shown you where real trouble brews

And I'd be happy to always hunt and hide with you

Your the reason I grew strong

Your the reason I thought I belonged

Finally to someone

Finally to someone

Tell me I'm not wrong

I need a clear sign

Do I stay or do I go

Cause everytime I say I love you

I mean it

You are my everything

No I can't hate you

That's easy to see

But all you have to do is tell me

Every song of hate to me is true

And I'm sure your dreams of no me will come true

Your my life

And I'm your fake wife

If your a bird

I'm a bird

If your a ghost

I'm a ghost

God I wish I knew the timelines

Timelines

Oh the times you asked me detailed

Oh I opened myself up like a book

Yea just a book

You aren't even sure if you love me?

I can't even let it sink in

Don't let it sink in

Can't let it sink in

If your a bird

I'm a bird

You made me strong and told me to stand up for myself

But now you hold me from telling the world off

Because you know your a part of it all

But don't you understand

I said your worth it all

Your worth it all

I'm not saying a word

I'm forever your bird...
