Wounded Bird Lyrics

I'm way too tired to be lonely
I spend my days as an only
I want to be saved, but I just don't know
Alone we've got nothing, or haven't you heard ?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
Now you're here and we're alone
We still don't know what it takes
(Oh, yeah)
We want to feel love
(We want, we want to feel it)
But we're just so scared
Alone we've got nothing, or haven't you heard ?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
I get so high
You give me shelter I guess I'm alive
I get so high
You give me shelter to get through the night
Alone we've got nothing, but haven't you heard ?
I guess we're just two wounded birds
I'm way too tired to be lonely
You give me shelter to get through the night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A perfect song for toxic codependency.

Ok, so since no one has commented-let me just say that I think this is a very sweet love song. And-FYI-it is the song from the love scene of \"True Romance\"

True Romance is one of my favorite movies
True Romance has the best love scene in a movie next to Titanic
This might be the best Pop/Love song i've ever heard
