Birdie

I can't seem to find
I look where you lie
For reasons to hide
From things I desire

Right in front of me
Where I want to be

When I felt so cold
I could reach out to hold
Your coat is so warm
And now I can't let her go

I wish I'd never seen
What I couldn't dream to keep

Now if I had only seen it before
I might not be standing outside your door
Seems I'll never lean on your shoulder again

Now if we should meet
On some dusty street
I'll move on my way
Kick the sand from my feet

Because it's not for me
Some things are just never meant to be
