You're the one I want
You're a chance to take
You're a hard break
And swore you'd never leave again
You're the only one
That I ever trusted
Or who ever cared at all
Is this how it's gonna be?
Is this how you wanted me?
Broken down again
It's almost over now
Is this why you wanted me?
To watch as you walk away
Kept on killing me
And you don't even wanna touch me
You don't even wanna touch me
I was wrong
I've wasted on
Can't figure out
What happened to us
I won't count on you anymore
I'll be all right
Don't worry about me
Aren't you happy now?
You got what you want
I wanted you
But I'm over that now
I'm over it
I'm so sick of you
What we went through
Your lies to me
Won't win again
So don't kid yourself
It's better this way
It's all back to me
“I heard a bird sing in the dark of December. A magical thing and sweet to remember.” ~ Oliver Herford

A young male Bewick’s Wren (Thryomanes bewickii) learns to sing from neighboring adult males while coming of age in his parents’ territory. His song develops with subtle differences—a note changed here, a syllable there. The melodious signature he acquires between 30 and 60 days will be his for life.

If you come across a noisy, hyperactive little bird with bold white eyebrows, flicking its long tail as it hops from branch to branch, you may have spotted a Bewick’s Wren. These master vocalists belt out a string of short whistles, warbles, burrs, and trills to attract mates and defend their territory, or scold visitors with raspy calls. Bewick’s Wrens are still fairly common in much of western North America, but they have virtually disappeared from the East.
Courting Bewick’s Wrens (Thryomanes bewickii) usually form monogamous pairs. Even after the female begins incubating eggs, the pair often forages together—a behavior that may help the male guard his mate from rivals.
