Lyrics And Then You Die - Adia Victoria

And then the day came
Where all we were talking about was her dyin'
All we were talking about was her dyin'
And if we had the right to ask her to keep trying to live

Look up, keep your eyes on the prize, girl
But don't be surprised when your road goes dim
There'll be days you'll go dancing with your demons
Screamin', they seem just like your friends

These are things I wish my mother would've told me
All I ever really wanted was her story
You live a bit and then you die
(You die, you die, you die)

You're not the only one feelin' hunted
I have been run out my skin
But little girl, you gotta dream beyond the bloodhounds
I hear 'em huntin' you down, don't let them win

These are things I wish my mother would've told me
All I ever really wanted was a warning
You live a bit and then you die
(You die, you die, you die)

I don't get sad about it anymore
I don't get sad about it anymore
No, no, I don't get sad about you anymore

Thought you saw a blackbird
Thought you saw a blackbird, a blackbird over there

You turn to find her, it's like there was no one there
You turn to find her, it's like there is no one there
You turn to find me, it's like I was never there
I was a blackbird, a blackbird, a blackbird over there
Blackbird, a blackbird, a blackbird over there
