Bluebird Days Lyrics
It was training wheels on a broke sidewalk, July heat
Back when life was just a pirate ship, plywood fort in a tree
Daddy went to work, Mama stayed home raising us three
Back before it all went south
Words get said, fingers blame
White flags wave, people change
But they used to be sunshine and roses
Their heads were way over their heels
Said they do, then they don’t
Ended up dancing right through a minefield
‘Cause the truth about livin’ a lie is
That the lie never outlives the truth
Two hearts fell in love
And two hearts grew apart
They went their separate ways
And our bluebird days went dark
Splitting holidays and birthdays takes its toll
Between two halves that won’t ever be whole
All of his faults and her faults go out the window
It just kinda is what it is
They used to be sunshine and roses
Their heads were way over their heels
Said they do, then they don’t
Ended up dancing right through a minefield
‘Cause the truth about livin’ a lie is
That the lie never outlives the truth
Two hearts fell in love
And two hearts grew apart
They went their separate ways
And our bluebird days went dark
Bluebird days went dark
Well, the sky went gray and
Rain came on and
Two lovebirds quit singing their song
They used to be sunshine and roses
Their heads were way over their heels
Said they do, then they don’t
Ended up dancing right through a minefield
‘Cause the truth about livin’ a lie is
That the lie never outlives the truth
Two hearts fell in love
And two hearts grew apart
They went their separate ways
And our bluebird days went dark
Oh, our bluebird days went dark
