How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it's torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba ba ba ba

This little Bluebird came looking for you
I said that I hadn't seen you in quite some time
This little Bluebird, she came looking again
I said we weren't even friends she could have you

Don't you think it was hard?
I didn't even say that you died
But it wouldn't have been such a lie
'Cause then I started to cry

This little Bluebird sure won't give it a rest
She swears that you may be better than all the rest
I said no oh
You've got it all wrong
If he was something special, I wouldn't have this song

Don't you think it was hard?
I didn't even say that you died
But it wouldn't have been such a lie
'Cause then I started to cry

How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it's torn apart?
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

What if when she comes over I am in your arms?
Taking all I want from you again (Oh)

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it's torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba ba ba ba

How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it's torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba ba ba ba
Beating again ba ba ba ba

This little bluebird don't come 'round here anymore
So I went looking for her
And I found
You

    This song is lovely!

    I have a different interpretation. The 'little blue bird' is her heart The little bluebird 'just won't give it a rest, she swears you may be better than all the rest', meaning it wont give up the person she loves.

    Her head 'logical self' answers saying 'I said no, you've got it all wrong'

    At the end...there's no sign of the bluebird = meaning her heart is missing So her head searches for it 'I went searching for her' When she finds her heart, she finds him 'I found you'....Meaning he has her heart!!!!!!!!!!!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
