I could show you now
But you're never gonna see
'Cause you're watchin' me go up in smoke
I could shut it down when I'm usually gonna leave
But you know that I'll fall all alone
The secrets that you know
and the secrets that I hold
Take these tired wings
Home is calling you to sleep
Love so bittersweet
All the happy tears it brings
Winter wind will fly it back to me
Bittersweet
I could tell you lies that I know you wanna hear
But the words will only build a wall
Gonna wash my hands til the river runs clear
As the years go by, we rise and fall
Take these tired wings
Home is calling you to sleep
Love so bittersweet
All the happy tears it brings
Winter wind will fly it back to me
Bittersweet
Fallin' through the cracks, never gonna see
Never gonna see
It's not coming back, not for anything
Not for anything
I know what you need
Tellin' me you're free
We go up
Fallin' through the cracks, never gonna see
Take these tired wings
Home is calling you to sleep
Love so bittersweet
All the happy tears it brings
Winter wind will fly it back to me
Bittersweet
Bittersweet
Bittersweet
