Swan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The swan sang with a broken neck
Out by the pool, behind the fence
You can't forgive me when
You know if I had the gun
I'd choose to shoot again


[Chorus]
He raised my hands in the backyard
He taught me to be a good shot
You love the sound of "sorry"
Even when you know I am not

I am not

[Verse 2]
In the holy land of broken homes
You still pretend you don't know
That I took it out back and I
Snapped its neck just like
A wishbone and I let it die


[Chorus]
He raised my hands in the backyard
He taught me to be a good shot
You love the sound of "sorry"
Even when you know I am not
I am not

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
