Birds of a Feather
Billie Eilish · 2024
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- But if it's forever, it's even better
- And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
- I don't think I could love you more
- It might not be long, but baby, I
Sing it again — final chorus
- But if it's forever, it's even better
- I knew you in another life
- You had that same look in your eyes
- I love you, don't act so surprised
