It's a bird

It's a plane

It's my love in the sky

Leaving me once again

It's the cries

It's the pain

That keeps me warm

When things aint the same

I know she writes me

But I won't read

My sisters got a new life

They don't need a brother no more

They don't need my help no more

What can I do to make you stay

I 'm too young to think of something to say

Before I could stop it, it was too late

There goes my life flyin' away

A little man can't fathom the change

I took it and I knew it

It would never be the same

But maybe one day we'd meet again

Yeah we'll meet again


Chorus

And it goes

C'est la vie

It's already happened to me

It's already happened to me

And it goes

C'est la vie

It's already happened to me

It's already happened to me


It's a bird

It's a plane

It's my love in the sky

Leaving me once again

It's the lies

It's the shames

that keeps me so warm

Cause things aint the same

I know she loves me

Why won't she say

My momma's got a new life

She don't need a son no more

Why don't she need my love no more

What can I say to make you stay

What can I do for you to prove

That there was nothing that I wouldn't do

To keep you from leaving out of the blue

And into the sky like a shadow of a doubt

It felt like home was prison

You had to get out

So you broke free and found your way

Far away from me

Far away from me


Chorus


I know I could've gone

The emotions were strong

But I couldn't leave pops

Even though he's like a rock

The child in me wanted to stay

But the man was like, come on kids

Let's just call it a day

And the women in my life

That kept my head right

Were on the next flight

I pretended it's alright

None of this was overnight, you see

We kept our love strong

And brought to life a dying family

It's been a fucked up year

But we got eachother

Three beautiful women

And a pops that's like a brother

God I guess has got a big ol' bag of tricks

Cause we broke our backs for years

And now look at us
