The storm made the night crack
I want to turn all the clocks back
Before your tears on my shoulder could dry
Tried to hold on with cupped hands
Didn't work anymore than
Trying to catch all the rain from the sky
You're a mishandled tea cup
Your porcelain broke
Been swimming in salt,
Now you finally choked
You're lit up by lightning
But the words that you spoke
Were what shocked me
You said, "Everything passes, everything changes
My face recorded his lies"
And all that you asked for, all that you longed for
Was a simple, honest goodbye
You're reminding me truly
Of a girl from a movie
Where her friends change her look at the end
But I sure liked you better
In your oversized sweater
Can you put on those glasses again?
I crown you with lilies
And pretend it's a joke
But you turn on your boot heel
And you button your coat
And now I'm regretting
All the vows that I wrote
On this napkin
Because everything passes, everything changes
Like fast moving clouds in your eyes
All that I ask for, all that I long for
Is a simple, honest goodbye
Fly little blackbird, you shy little blackbird
Burn these silly love letters for fuel
Oh fly little blackbird, never my little blackbird
Cause I follow those campsite rules
Goodbye little blackbird, I tried little blackbird
Feet slipping in the vodka and lime
Goodbye little blackbird, can't be my little blackbird
Wanting all of you half of the time
And now everything passes, everything changes
Your taillights fade off in the night
All that I asked for, all that I longed for
Was a simple, honest goodbye
Or maybe a storybook ending goodbye
Black-feathered beauty, goodbye
