Broken Wings

Verse1
Baby I wont' be home tonight
I can't be there to hold you tight
the problems we've had
need to go away
I'm at a friends
they're gonna let me stay here tonight
tell the kids I said good night
and I love them
I'll be home soon

Bridge
I wish I could tell you how I feel
but I don't wanna hurt you
you're the best thing in the world to me
I don't wanna let you go
even though these past few nights
have been crazy
maybe it would be better is we just shared
everything

Chorus
How can you fly with Broken Wings
I wanna know
I'm drowning in my own tears
I wanna know
how can you fly with Broken Wings

(solo)

Repeat Chorus

Verse2
Every night I'm gone
I always think about you
when I'm on the road
I miss you all around me
I miss the warmth of your heart
beating in the night
I love you babe
I'm comin' home to you

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was a teenager when I wrote this. A friend of mine wanted to sing it like a duet with someone. But it didn't happen. I had not been in any serious relationships at the time. But I think I seen how it happened with other people and how, sometimes, relationships don't work. But some people will work hard to try work things out. Ironically when I read through the lyrics to this song I can hear Peter Criss from KISS singing this. But I have a cool musical thought in mind for this.
