It was training wheels on a broke sidewalk, July heat Back when life was just a pirate ship, plywood fort in a tree Daddy went to work, Mama stayed home raising us three Back before it all went south Words get said, fingers blame White flags wave, people change But they used to be sunshine and roses Their heads were way over their heels Said they do, then they don't Ended up dancing right through a minefield 'Cause the truth about livin' a lie is That the lie never outlives the truth Two hearts fell in love And two hearts grew apart They went their separate ways And our bluebird days went dark Splitting holidays and birthdays takes its toll Between two halves that won't ever be whole All of his faults and her faults go out the window It just kinda is what it is They used to be sunshine and roses Their heads were way over their heels Said they do, then they don't Ended up dancing right through a minefield 'Cause the truth about livin' a lie is That the lie never outlives the truth Two hearts fell in love And two hearts grew apart They went their separate ways And our bluebird days went dark Bluebird days went dark Well, the sky went gray and rain came on And two lovebirds quit singing their song They used to be sunshine and roses Their heads were way over their heels Said they do, then they don't Ended up dancing right through a minefield 'Cause the truth about livin' a lie is That the lie never outlives the truth Two hearts fell in love And two hearts grew apart They went their separate ways And our bluebird days went dark Oh, our bluebird days went dark
