Lyrics

[Intro] And then the day came Where all we were talking about Was her dying All we were talking about Was her dying And if we had the right to ask her To keep trying to live [Verse 1] Look up keep your eyes on the prize, girl But don't be surprised when the road goes dim There'll be days you'll go dancing with your demons Screamin' they seem just like your friends [Chorus] Things are things I wish my mother would've told me All I ever really wanted was her story You live a bit and then you die [Verse 2] You're not the only one feelin' hunted I have been run out my skin But little girl you gotta dream beyond the bloodhounds I hear 'em huntin' you down don't let them win [Chorus] These are things I wish my mother would've told me All I ever really wanted was a warning You live a bit and then you die [Bridge] I don't get sad about it any I don't get sad about you anymore [Outro] You thought you saw a blackbird You thought you saw a blackbird A blackbird over there You turn to find her it's like there was no one there You turn to find me it's like I was never there I was a blackbird over there
