Blackbird lyrics

He put the co

He put the co

He put the co

He put the co

He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up

He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that

He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat

And he put down a key and said I won't be needing that

And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all

And he walked down the hall and he opened the door

And said I'll call, I'll call

Why do I bring you love

When all you give me back is pain?

Why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

Now there's a black black blackbird in my chest

All the flutter, it all caged in

Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head

You're tearing every words that I should have said

Why do I bring you love

When all you give me back is pain?

Why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

We're like the strangers we were

When we first met

But the kind of strangers at the end

And all that remains is a day without plans

The loneliness and love ever outside

Why do I bring you love

When all you give me back is pain?

Why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away?

Why do I bring you love

When all you give me back is pain?

Why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
