NOT A LOVE SONG

V1:
A mannequin whispers through porcelain lips 
The radio weeps in fragmented clips 
I left my shadow in a payphone's ring
It takes my change but won't say a thing

V2:
A staircase unravels into thin air 
A violin sings though no one is there 
I catch a whirlwind and let it break free 
Now my words are a puzzle that won't speak to me
(Back again)

Verse:
This is not a love song just a melody 
A broken typewriter humming Major D 
No roses, no teardrops, no stars in the sky
Just the clockwork birds that forgot how to fly 

Instrumental

V3:
A butterfly, made of static lands on my hand 
It tells me the future, but I don't understand
A bell that is sized, but it nevermakes clear 
Why the world is on fire, with nothing to fear

Chorus:
This is not a love song, it's just a melody 
A broken typewriter humming in D 
No roses, no teardrops, no stars in the skies
Just a clockwork bird that forgot how to fly 

Outro:
This is not a love song, I swear it's not real 
Just a fragment of sound on a spinning wheel 
No roses, no teardrops, no stars in the skies 
Just a clockwork bird that forgot how to fly
