The truth is I didn't see the wire until I saw The bird I didn't understand my own desire Until I said the words I couldn't find the soil While I was digging in the dirt Yeah the truth is I didn't see the wire 'til I saw the bird Oh I Knew there was something there Oh I Felt myself breathing though I Could not see the air The truth is that I am ashamed It took finding him to open my eyes You held my gaze so tight I couldn't tell it was shrinking in size Just a few months In his love I was revived Yeah the truth is that I am ashamed I didn't realize Oh I Knew there was something there Oh I Felt myself breathing though I Could not see the air Oh I Knew there was something there Oh I Felt myself breathing though I Could not see the air
