The Buffalo and the Bird - Courtney Marie Andrews

You never speak the truth

You never say what you mean

Well, I never loved you more

Than when you set yourself free

No more visits to your bed

No more keeping charming things you’ve said

As a reward for working twice as hard

For only half of your heart

The buffalo and the bird, the stones, the caricature

The key around my neck is yours once again

For someone who wishes to be left lonely

You’ve sure gathered quite the exclusive group of company

Don’t consider me, I’ll leave you alone

I’ll leave you be to dance around with your disease

You separate yourself, it seems an easy way out

A restless rhythmic routine

A habit of losing what you’ve found

But you promised in the past that you’d be around for me

A silly promise for the future

That you obviously could not keep

The love in a pack of cigarettes, the bracelet on your wrist

The key around my neck is yours once again

For someone who wishes to be left lonely

You’ve sure gathered quite the selective group of company

Don’t consider me, I’ll leave you alone

I’ll leave you be to dance around with your disease

You don’t need me to dance around with your disease

Oh to waltz around with your disease

Yeah, you will
