Black Bird
Tori Forsyth Lyrics

gunna get my hands dirty
I am not afraid to take risks and put in the hard work to achieve my goals.

nothing good ever came from clean
Success and fulfillment come from taking chances and embracing the messiness that comes with it.

i could swim in the clean water
I have the option to take the easy path and avoid challenges.

but the clean just aint for me
However, I know deep down that I would not be satisfied with a life devoid of risk and struggle.

there have been potential buyers
There have been suitors interested in a relationship with me.

not one could afford a ring
None of them were able to offer me a commitment that met my standards.

so i patiently wait for the blackbird to sing
I am willing to wait for the right opportunity or moment to come along, even if it takes time.

i could tell you a story of how the wolf didnt cry
I could share a story of a time when I stood up to someone who was trying to manipulate me.

told the little girl she could do it if she tried
I encouraged myself or someone else to believe in their own ability to succeed.

knowing it would last only for a short while
I was aware that this moment of empowerment might not be a permanent solution to the problem at hand.

ya she would beat him at his own game
I or someone else was able to outsmart and overcome a manipulator, turning the tables on them.

and took him for a ride
I or someone else gained the upper hand in the situation, possibly even enjoying the power dynamic for a time.

now he could go to town with whoever he like
The manipulator I faced moved on to other targets and continued their behavior without consequence.

knowing that he wont be making me his bride
However, I or someone else knew that we were too strong and independent to be taken advantage of again.

found himself a woman
The manipulator found a new victim to prey on.

she drinks cheap wine
The new victim may have a history of unhealthy coping mechanisms or self-destructive behavior.

shes gunna need something stronger to drown sorrow tonight
The new victim may need to numb themselves in order to deal with the manipulation and pain they are experiencing.

so i patiently wait for the blackbird to sing
I continue to wait for the right opportunity to come along, not losing hope or giving up on my goals.

so i patiently wait for the blackbird to singing
I continue to persevere and believe in myself, not letting setbacks or manipulators bring me down.
