[Verse 1] Little birdie in my palms Small heart, shaking I can feel the storm in you Even when you’re faking Your feathers brush my skin Like a question mark If I hold you any tighter I might leave a scar [Pre-Chorus] I know your shape by touch I know you’d fly for good And love like this Can break what it should [Chorus] Little birdie, stay Little birdie, go If I keep my hands I might hurt you slow Little birdie, stay Little birdie, fly I don’t know how to hold you And let you live [Verse 2] You look at me like home Then look past my door I built my hands for keeping But you were made for more Every kiss feels holy Every fear feels true I’m scared to be the cage I’m scared to lose you too [Pre-Chorus] I know your shape by touch I know you’d fly for good And love like this Can break what it should [Chorus] Little birdie, stay Little birdie, go If I keep my hands I might hurt you slow Little birdie, stay Little birdie, fly I don’t know how to hold you And let you live [Bridge] If I open up And you don’t return That pain will stay Like a quiet burn But if I keep you here And dim your sky I’d lose you in my arms Before goodbye [Final Chorus] Little birdie, stay Little birdie, go If I keep my hands I might hurt you slow Little birdie, stay Little birdie, fly I don’t know how to hold you And let you live Little birdie, fly Little birdie, free If you come back home Please come back to me
