Wings
I was just seventeen when you learned my name
You were older than me but we felt the same
Already broken down, looking for a cure
I moved to your hometown and you called me yours
I said the words but how could you think that it would be forever
You couldn't know my heart that well when I didn't know it myself
I was so young
Like a bird born in a cage
Before I could fly
I needed to feel safe
What did you expect from me
You held me close
Showed me love didn't have to hurt
When you healed my wings
I realized they work
What did you expect from me
Ohhh
Ohhhh
I was just twenty-two when I flew away
Still too young to be held, you begged me to stay
Already in the air, I couldn't come down
Had to find my own path, my own place in town
I said the words but how could you think that it would be forever
You couldn't know my heart that well when I didn't know it myself
I was so young
Like a bird born in a cage
Before I could fly
I needed to feel safe
What did you expect from me
You held me close
Showed me love didn't have to hurt
When you healed my wings
I realized they work
What did you expect from me
You said I was so selfish
That I never loved you at all
Leaving you wasn't easy
But it was still the right call
Life didn't magically become
What I had dreamed of
But every step I took led me to
A place I'm proud of
I was so young
Like a bird born in a cage
Before I could fly
I needed to feel safe
What did you expect from me
What did you expect from me
I hope the years have been kind to you
And that now you see
This was right for you too
You were older than me but we felt the same
Already broken down, looking for a cure
I moved to your hometown and you called me yours
I said the words but how could you think that it would be forever
You couldn't know my heart that well when I didn't know it myself
I was so young
Like a bird born in a cage
Before I could fly
I needed to feel safe
What did you expect from me
You held me close
Showed me love didn't have to hurt
When you healed my wings
I realized they work
What did you expect from me
Ohhh
Ohhhh
I was just twenty-two when I flew away
Still too young to be held, you begged me to stay
Already in the air, I couldn't come down
Had to find my own path, my own place in town
I said the words but how could you think that it would be forever
You couldn't know my heart that well when I didn't know it myself
I was so young
Like a bird born in a cage
Before I could fly
I needed to feel safe
What did you expect from me
You held me close
Showed me love didn't have to hurt
When you healed my wings
I realized they work
What did you expect from me
You said I was so selfish
That I never loved you at all
Leaving you wasn't easy
But it was still the right call
Life didn't magically become
What I had dreamed of
But every step I took led me to
A place I'm proud of
I was so young
Like a bird born in a cage
Before I could fly
I needed to feel safe
What did you expect from me
What did you expect from me
I hope the years have been kind to you
And that now you see
This was right for you too
