Lo Que Un Día Fue No Será

In your hands I learned to drink water
I was a sparrow that stayed trapped in your cage
Because I cut my wings and the birdseed you gave me
Was so little and yet I loved you

It was my song for you always complete
Without you I couldn't fly in another sky
Why did you leave me alone, confused, and forgotten
And another hand offered me the desired fruit

What once was will not be, don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you, I'm tired of your birdseed
Go fly to another sky and leave your cage open
Maybe another sparrow will fall, but give it water to drink

Let me turn on the light, I don't want anything
If this had been yesterday, I would have taken it
The first time you offer for me to stay here
But without loving you, what would you gain

What once was will not be, don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you, I'm tired of your birdseed
Go fly to another sky and leave your cage open
Maybe another sparrow will fall, but give it water to drink
