What I Did

I never did have a fear of heights But now I cling on to the rails To be so sure that everyone Will know the words to every song I caught a splinter while I was talking Didn't notice yesterday To be so sure that everyone Will have known while I'm oblivious Back when I heard the swallow singing How the day was young and spun with gold When you dropped the weight that no-one knows What I did Your cough does not replace my headache It's the fragments that made up the whole It's the little things that built up to What I did What I did Maybe I'll live a life in shadow Where nobody hears the way I sing A mastermind, a silly girl A genius, or just a fool Back when I heard the swallow singing How the day was young and spun with gold When you dropped the weight that no-one knows What I did Your cough does not replace my headache It's the fragments that made up the whole It's the little things that built up to What I did What I did Now you're never, never gonna know how, Know how much I did And the wind is singing to the sun I know how much she did
