I wanted to fly
But you clipped my wings and I came tumbling down
I tried to climb instead
But you made me slip
I tried jumping really high
But you put a chain on my ankle
I tried to scream
But you stitched my mouth shut
I tried to send letters
But you burned every one
I tried to reach out
But you held me back
All I ever wanted to do was love you
But you never wanted the same
I wanted to fly
But you clipped my wings and I came tumbling down
I once tried tell you I love you
But you listened to her instead
I once tried running
But you turned my tracks into a circle
I thought I could escape it
But you got too deep
I thought I could trust you
But I was so wrong beyond belief
I wanted to cry
But your sweet lies made it all okay
I wanted to make it all last
But all you wanted was to go away
I wanted to fly
But you clipped my wings and I came tumbling down
I wanted to die
But you didn't
I wanted to call you mine
But you never did
I wanted you to call me baby
But you only wanted my sex
I wanted you to love me
But all you wanted was to be loved
I wanted to be safe
But you didn't want to comfort me
I wanted you to be there for me
But it hurts more that it feels good
I wanted to fly
But you never did
I wanted to fly
But I could never leave the ground
I wanted to fly
But I was on the floor
I wanted to fly
So I finally did
I wanted to fly
But I flew too high
I wanted to fly
But I fell down
I wanted to fly
But you clipped my wings and I came crumbling down
