lyrics

Who are you to turn away after all the wrong you cause
I won't let you have a say for pickin’ out my flaws
And I won't let you get away with sinkin’ in your claws
Into anymore that I adore and also that means me

But I won't shoot you down
Pretty bird, pretty lady
Just to lay you down
Pretty bird, pretty lady
Cause I've got to got to know I've got it got it right

Who are you to shoot the moon after cutting in on me
I won't let you pull that chain and pretend that I am free
And I won't let it sit around a beast inside a dove
You glut yourself while I blink my eyes
And you run away from love

But I won't shoot you down
Pretty bird, pretty lady
Just to lay you down
Pretty bird, pretty lady
Cause I've got to got to know I've got it got it right

I've been searching through the night
In blankets under candle lights
As in the heavens stars shine down
On midnight boxcars leaving town
But I won't shoot you down

Sunday's sunsets burning red
And rising moons like pumpkin's heads
And as you slip into your dreams
I'm flippin’ through a magazine
But I won't shoot you down
Just to tune you out
Just to make a sound
Just to say goodnight
Just to win a fight

I've been staying up at night
And listenin’ to the neighbors fight
Reminding me of your disguise
They cover up your innocent eyes
But I won't shoot you down
Just to bring you down
‘Cause I've got to got to know I've got it got it right
