I catch your eye
Across the room;
I see you want to cry.
I cannot help
But feel that I
Have caused this deep inside.
It never was
my intent
to make you want to die.
Who knew
that all of this
could come from one small lie?
There was a time
so long ago
when you thought that you could fly.
But now my lie
has broke your wings
and made you want to cry.
Your freedom's gone
so is your song
but malice ne'er had I.
So I'll break my wings
to give to you
so once more you can fly.
I opened my eyes today
And welcomed the warm sunlight
Put a smile on my face
Just in case today doesn’t go right
I thought of some good times
And pushed out some bad
Put some thought into
Things I’ve never had
I don’t want what I can’t have
I don’t wish for more than I do
I have always known
Good things will come to you
But I asked today
For one simple thing
Let me lay down my demons
So I can open my broken wings
I need to fly, to be free
I need the wind in my hair
So I can believe for one moment
That life really is fair
Can you help me my friend
Can you help me move on
Even though I can’t really say
I can be that strong
