An empty nest

It's just a tangled mess

Since your bird has flown

You filled her with emptiness

Light enough to float

You taught her everything she knows

You think you'd know by now

It doesn't feel the same this time around

Take a walk down your old street

And try not to forget

You tied her down

You left her alone

She stuck it out too long

With you out of sight

She kept you in mind

On her first flight

You think you'd know by now

It doesn't feel the same this time around

Take a walk down your old street

And try not to forget

How do you feel now

You feel alone

You don't feel so smug

Do you since your bird has flown

Think you'd know by now

Everything's changed somehow

Take a walk down your old street

Think you'd know by now

Think you'd know by now
