Bird in the Hand

Got no reason to be sad about it This was the plan- I was to make my great escape I should've let you walk away Had convictions but I had to doubt them I couldn't stand the sight of your crying face I couldn't let you walk away Well don't you know that i've been here before I stayed for three years feeling stuck in place That's when I should've walked away But if I were a different man I would have known for sure You were my bird in the hand And I wish I'd loved you more Got no reason to get upset about it This kind of thing happens every day A thousand people walk away But it's the little things that get my foot stuck In the door just as I was walking away I couldn't make that clean escape I could've been a different man Could've been more mature But I got this sickness in the end And I wish you were the cure And if I were a different man I would've known for sure You were my bird in the hand And I wish i'd loved you more And if I'd known how this would end I'd have walked away long before So you could find another man Who could've loved you more
