"We are always feeling every emotion, but only a few are screaming."


verse 1:
saw the photo on Instagram of you two,
of you two love birds,
you were on a mountain top singing like the canaries you are,
singing wise,
chirping happiness and glee,
oh it still pains me,
every time you spread your wings and fly away from the love i grew with you,
i grew to love you.


chorus;
you are on the mountain top,
singing like the canaries you are,
cowards for not backing down on something you knew was wrong,
you are kissing on the mountain,
and i am drinking a bottle of whiskey,
tell me how are you not feeling sick for hurting me for who i am,
canary flies in the tree,
repeating the love i texted you,
to your new girl,
you are like a parrot,
you repeat the words of my love to your girlfriend,
you left me and now i am devoted to whiskey.

verse 2:
where were you,
when i was in my room,
crying, crying because i could not breathe,
where were you when i stopped eating for 6 whole months,
lost 30 pounds in a jiffy,
i liked you,
but now i understand,
you were never there for me,
the way i needed you to be.

 

chorus;
you are on the mountain top,
singing like the canaries you are,
cowards for not backing down on something you knew was wrong,
you are kissing on the mountain,
and i am drinking a bottle of whiskey,
tell me how are you not feeling sick for hurting me for who i am,
canary in the tree,
repeating the love i texted you,
to your new girl,
you are like a parrot,
you repeat the words of my love to your girlfriend,
you left me and now i am devoted to whiskey.

verse 3:
social media kills me,
3 months later and i still can not breathe,
dreaming of the day you texted me,
why was i,
why was i not good enough for you,
didn’t you like me,
for who i was,
well now it is goodbye to you,
i don’t miss your cheap jokes,
lame excuses,
at all,
goodbye to making me fall for you.


chorus;
you are on the mountain top,
singing like the canaries you are,
cowards for not backing down on something you knew was wrong,
you are kissing on the mountain,
and i am drinking a bottle of whiskey,
tell me how are you not feeling sick for hurting me for who i am,
canary flies in the tree,
repeating the love i texted you,
to your new girl,
you are like a parrot,
you repeat the words of my love to your girlfriend,
you left me and now i am devoted to whiskey.

verse 4:
i hate you for letting my tears drown you,
i hated you so much.
now it is over with,
i am done with whiskey and caring about you,
just let your ship wreck,
don’t come asking me for glue and scissors when you need to take all the hearts you break in your future and glue them back together,
i’m done with being screwed with,
goodbye to you.
