Standard (EADGBE)

Hurt like a bird on a wire you got cursed

 You got burned, something that no one deserves

As you broke in your wings you forgot how to sing

 All the trouble it brings, trouble that it brings

For the first time in your life you're coming home

You can feel the strength returning to your bones

Caught in a trap of desire you got lost

 You got shot with a bow and arrow to the heart

You fashion your life like a battered wife

 Got some wood and a knife, wood and a knife

For the first time in your life you made a home

You'd work your fingers right down to the bone
