an empty nest it's just a tangled mess
since your bird has flown
you filled her with emptiness
light enough to float
you taught her everything she knows

think you d know by now
it doesn't feel the same this time around
take a walk down your old street
and try not to forget

you tied her down
you left her alone
she stuck it out too long
with you out of sight
she kept you in mind on her first flight

you'd think you d know by now
it doesn t feel the same this time around
take a walk down your old street
and try not to forget

how do you feel now
you feel alone
you don t feel so smug
do you since your bird has flown

yuo'd think you d know by now
everything s changed for me
take a walk down your old street
you'd think you d know by now...
