Black Bird

[Intro:] He put the c- He put the c- He put the c- He put the c- He put the c- [Verse 1:] 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 the key and said I won't be needing that And he turned and smiled as if that explained it all And he walked down the hall and he opened the door and said "Of course I'll call" [Chorus:] Heart, why do I bring you love When you all you give me back is pain? Heart, why do we search it out To watch you wash your hands and walk away? [Verse 2:] Now, there's a black black black bird in my chest All a flutter and all caged in Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head Who tear at every wise thing I should have said [Chorus] [Bridge:] We're not 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 Where I won't be missed, another handful of sand [Chorus](2x)
