You say that you cared for me,
that you used to bathe me in sunlight
and I'd dance with the stars
You say that I used to want to fly away with the birds,
so high
and rip the chains off my hands
I used to fly away from responsibility
and let the hair whip in my face
blinding my eyes from the light
I'd always say sorry for crashing down
and disappointing you
Because I used to fly away from your clutches
and I'd leave you stranded
And I hate to admit it,
but I still want to fly away and feel free
the kind of free that
I've never felt
before
and if you're still on me
and dragging me down
I'll never feel that free
and I'll never fly away
and I'll die in my cage
the bars ripping my skin
