Bird
Love's Hard Work: Navigating Memories and Strangers
Lyrics
Reminiscing the times that we drift
Reflecting on past moments of drifting.
While I carry my love under my breath
Carrying love silently or discreetly.
Tell me what you might like about me
Seeking information about what the other person likes in the speaker.
Am I the kind of woman you wanna be?
Questioning if the speaker fits the desired image of a woman.
I miss the old days when we use to sway
Nostalgia for the past when there was a sense of freedom and spontaneity.
I don't know what we are now ?
Uncertain about the current status or nature of the relationship.
But I do think of what we were
Thinking about the past and what the relationship used to be.
We are strangers with some memories
Describing the current state as being strangers with shared memories.
For what it's worth ?
Expressing a sense of questioning or doubt.
Bitch it's hard work
Acknowledging that maintaining a relationship is challenging.
Your love is no bird
Comparing love to something that is not easily captured or contained.
my heart is on red alert (bitch is hard work)
Indicating that the speaker's heart is in a state of heightened alert or sensitivity.
Mistaken and unheard
Feeling misunderstood and overlooked.
Don't put me down in the dirt
Resisting being belittled or dismissed.
Tell me what you might like about me
Repeating the question about what the other person likes in the speaker.
Am I the kind of woman you wanna be
Reiterating the inquiry about fitting the desired image of a woman.
We are strangers with some memories
Reaffirming the description of being strangers with shared memories.
It is not what it's supposed to be?
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of the relationship.
For what it's worth ?
Repeating the sense of questioning or doubt.
Bitch it's hard work
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the challenges in maintaining the relationship.
Your love is no bird
Repeating the comparison of love to something elusive or untamed.
my heart is on red alert (bitch is hard work)
Reaffirming the heightened sensitivity of the speaker's heart.
Mistaken and unheard
Repeating the feeling of being misunderstood and unheard.
Don't put me down in the dirt
Reiterating the resistance against being put down.
