Making Friends and Acquaintances

[Verse 1]

Loose-lipped secrets

I've seen those birdies chirping

Another promise perched on their fragile branches

Cradle and all

We all hide a diary beneath some mattress

And someone has slept in my bed

Sometimes I get so naked I sing like a canary

And I scream out what I shouldn't scream

Some lies last a lifetime

They keep our diaries hidden

They don't let the whispers slip

Between the cracks of the bathroom stalls

Or be written on the bathroom walls

But still I can hear those dirty birds chirp away

It's a song I know by heart

Sometimes I resent making friends and acquaintances

It's a thin veil between us

Between the bed springs and the mattress

I keep my secrets

The ones I can't keep

The ones you

Took from me

The ones you scattered with your wings

It was nice to meet you
