Flightless Bird by Scott Barkan Lyrics

[Intro]
Don't expect too much from me
I'm a flightless bird
I know what you're thinking
I know what you heard
But I don't got it where it counts
Live my life right here on the ground
Take me at my word
I'm a flightless bird

[Verse 1]
I am not like you
I'm a flightless bird
You're bound for the sky
I am bound to the earth

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know that I look the part
But I don't got the courage, don't got the heart
I am where the lines got blurred
I'm a flightless bird
[Chorus]
Wings too short
My legs too long
My will is weak and my back ain't strong
I was not built for this world
I'm a flightless bird

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I know my place
I'm a flightless bird
I shouldn't aim too high
I shouldn't try too hard

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know wings are meant to fly
Not for me, I don't ask why
And I shall not be cured
I'm a flightless bird

[Chorus]
Wings too short
Legs too long
My will is weak and my back ain't strong
I was not built for this world

[Bridge]
But I know wings were meant to fly
I know wings were meant to fly
I know wings were meant to fly
I know wings were meant to fly
[Chorus]
Wings too short
Legs too long
My will is weak and my back ain't strong
I was not built for this world
No, I was not built for this world
No, I was not built for this world
I'm a flightless bird

[Outro]
Yes, I am where the lines got blurred
I'm a flightless…
Bird
Flightless bird
