[Intro — whispered, soft]
Here in the garden…
Two birds on a wire…
Both of us frozen in time, pretending we’re fine…
⸻
[Verse 1]
Here in the garden,
We played our games,
You told me how to smile
Then you drifted away.
You said, “Don’t move, stay still,”
And I did what you asked—
Thought if I stayed right here
Then maybe we’d last.
But you kept turning pages
For people who never cared,
I stood under endless skies
Wondering if you’d ever come back there.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Two birds on a wire,
One tries to fly away—
You said you wanted to,
But you stayed another day.
I believed it all,
Every word you never meant.
I held tight to your hand
Even as the feathers bent.
⸻
[Chorus]
Happily listening,
Happily waiting,
Happily watching you drift away…
Two birds in the silence,
One breaks, one stays—
And I’m still here
On the wire
As you fade.
Drift… drift… drift away.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Night after night,
I rewrote the truth,
Pretending the echo
Was still really you.
And then came the story
Of how it all ends—
You don’t exist now,
Survived by a son
And your brand-new friends.
Isn’t that lovely?
Isn’t it cruel?
Isn’t it funny
How I stayed the fool?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Two birds of a feather
Promise forever—
But one won’t let go of that wire,
No, never.
You said you would fly,
But you lied through your smile,
I waited for years
While you were gone all the while.
⸻
[Chorus 2 — bigger, emotional]
Happily listening,
Happily staying,
Happily watching you drift away…
Two birds in the grey sky,
One wants escape,
One breaks his wings
Just trying to stay.
Drift… drift… drift away.
⸻
[Bridge — new addition]
And I keep counting seconds
On a timeline you erased.
I keep holding to a memory
That time refused to save.
You keep floating further,
Like a ghost I can’t replace—
And I’m stuck on the wire
Like the last bird
Trying not to break.
⸻
[Final Chorus — mixed styles + climax]
I’ll believe it all,
Every lie, every promise,
Every “I’ll come back someday.”
I won’t let go,
Even though
Everyone else
Already walked away.
Two birds on a wire,
One tries to fly away—
And I watch you go,
Even though
You never
Ever
Stay.
Happily listening…
Happily stayed…
Happily watching you drift—
Drift—
Drift away…
⸻
[Outro — soft falloff]
Here in the garden…
Under the endless sky…
I’m still the bird on the wire
Waiting for someone
Who already said goodbye.
