byron henderson - from the sea. (bye bye birdie) lyrics

[intro]
yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah
{laughs}
(i love you).

[verse 1]
fell from great heights to find you
drenched with love and life, but my dream deterred
perseverance tested every night, yeah
see, we were burdened with depression
but blessed with each other, lessons learned
respect was earned, my first friend
a third of the reason the noose intended for my neck was burned
but oh, the irony of your death
i thought maybe i could’ve done more to prevent it
i figured i owed that to you
but i just tortured myself, and you wouldn’t want that
life without you was haunting, demons taunting
self esteem was daunting, too stuck in disbelief to heed the warnings
when i told you that matt was gone, you held me tight
and that indeed was awkward, but not once did i pull away because i needed all that
i needed you and i’m not too stubborn for reassurance
our middle school hoodies safe and sound in my room
i did everything that i promised, just wish that you had a view beside me
it’s obvious you were tired, and i don’t blame you at all
see, i knew something was off the day i saw you for the last time
can’t help but think it should’ve been me (i’m done)
cause plenty times you got me to stop when it would’ve been me (let me go)
i could feel you keep me alive until you couldn’t
ironic we died on the same day, three years apart yet never parted
but it’s
[hook]
bye bye birdie, bye bye
bye bye birdie, bye bye
bye bye birdie, bye bye
bye bye birdie, bye bye

i’ll never let you go
no, i’ll never forget
the moments that we had
and everything you meant
but for now, it’s
bye bye birdie, bye bye
(’til i see you again)
bye bye birdie, bye bye

[verse 2]
you made sobriety a thought, while aaliyah made it feasible
kelsey gave me the strength, when for sure i thought i’d be seeing you
conversations we had about wishes
you and your sister you felt a connection with, yet never really knew existed, dawg
understand my pov, i plead of you
the love she has for you is unreal, i met her last year and she’s just like you
you make her strong enough break cycles
i promise it’s the last thing i need from you, watch over maya
all my prior losses built resilience, all my wins cost me everything i thought was part of living
i’ll hold onto you forever
gave your all, for you, i did the same
i love you like you never left cause all your energy remained
every smile, every hug, every single talk we had
but at some point, we started losing everything and everyone we thought we had
a level above afraid, they were shook
your angelic voice made them slaves to another page in our book
ain’t have no hope like that, but we were cool like that, uh
dope like that, beats get smoked like that
your last facebook post ended with “bye bye birdie”
but you’ll live on although my hourglass is low like that, huh
yeah, word to the sunrise
miss you more than you know, but losses make us stronger sometimes, ha
that ain’t the case, cause when you died, i ducked for cover
got too used to only feeling alive cause we had one another, dang
[interlude]
when i look in the mirror, i see your face
all you could’ve become
and all we could’ve been

[hook]
bye bye birdie, bye bye
bye bye birdie, bye bye
bye bye birdie, bye bye
bye bye birdie, bye bye
