Personally, I love this song. It is in every single one of my playlists. I think the meaning is deeper than she portrays it.
“But a bird flew by, saw what I done.”
(They) saw what she did
“Sang about what I’d become”
Was disappointed and/or scared of her, or was she’d become
“I invite him in just to reason with him, promised I wouldn’t do it again.”
Was guilty of some unknown cause, didn’t want him to spread the word, hence, birdsonging.
“He sang louder and louder”
He began spreading this information, so she killed him.
The rest of the song basically explains her guilty conscience and how the bird is now basically haunting her in multiple ways.
Absolutely a beautiful song.
