And Then You Die - Adia Victoria

And then the day came

Where all we were talking about

Was her dying

All we were talking about

Was her dying

And if we had the right to ask her

To keep trying to live

Look up keep your eyes on the prize, girl

But don’t be surprised when your road goes dim

There’ll be days you’ll go dancing with your demons

Screamin' they seem just like your friends

These are things I wish my mother would’ve told me

All I ever really wanted was her story

You live a bit and then you die

(You die, you die, you die)

You’re not the only one feelin' hunted

I have been run out my skin

But little girl you gotta dream beyond the bloodhounds

I hear 'em huntin' you down don’t let them win

These are things I wish my mother would’ve told me

All I ever really wanted was a warning

You live a bit and then you die

(You die, you die, you die)

I don’t get sad about it anymore

I don’t get sad about it anymore

No, no, I don’t get sad about you anymore

Thought you saw a blackbird

Thought you saw a blackbird, a blackbird over there

You turn to find her, it’s like there was no one there

You turn to find her, it’s like there is no one there

You turn to find me, it’s like I was never there

I was a blackbird, a blackbird, a blackbird over there

A blackbird, a blackbird, a blackbird over there
