Oh, troublebirds been flying
flying way too low
troublebirds been whispering.
Telling me I should let go
troublebirds been singing
stories I don't want to know
oh baby they've been flying here way too long.
Troublebirds been whispering about another girl
telling me she's waiting
always knocking on your door
as much as I am feeling it's in our love I belong
those troublebirds been flying here too long.
All I did was pray
for them to fly away
but they kept on coming back
and caught me on my way.
If I may cross you
if you may fail
you know the troublebirds
oh they're the ones to blame.
The love I had was broken
the love I had was slow
the love I bear was hungry
it ate you whole, I know.
Crept up like a fever
and turned me weak and cold
come what may
you know I loved you so.
I might come back one morning
or I might dare to go
my questions stay unanswered
because the troublebirds don't know.
They sing to me in melodies
only trouble notes can bring
as long as they keep flying here I sing.
You know your name is carved
way deep in my soul
and there's nothing I'm afraid of
after loving you so long.
And at the judgement day
I'll be standing strong
after loving you
even god couldn't do me more wrong.
Don't ever let me down
I'm afraid
the birds are here
but one day they'll fly away
