Free me and fly me away
My soul is trapped in feeling and I'm trying to escape
Every time you ask me
I'm fine I'm doing well
I don't usually need saving
But right now, I'm asking for help
I thought trying to be a hero
To heal me was enough
I thought one day I'll be happy
If I gave all my love
I like smiles but I don't like them on my face
I don't know why it gets hard to breathe
To be a hero I have to show that I'm okay
You'll be okay so why don't you smile for me
