Fly Away

You said I held you back, needed more to feel alive
Left me in the dust, as you went to thrive
I was here lifting you, while I fell behind
You needed freedom, but forgot I was your spine

You were the cage, and you opened the door
I chose to stay, but my wings were never torn
I gave you strength while I broke piece by piece
No tears will fall, I won't beg you to stay
You'll miss me one day, and say I flew away

You pulled my strings, had me dancing to your tune
Whispered empty words, promised me the moon
Every time I spoke, you shut me down
Built up my hopes just to watch me drown

You twisted love to keep me by your side
Made me think I needed you to survive
But now I see it was all just a game
Breaking me down so you'd feel no shame

I didn't see it, the walls closing in
Thought it was love, but it felt more like sin
Breaking free from the cycle that twisted my mind
These heavy chains were never meant to be mine

You were the cage, and you opened the door
I chose to stay, but my wings were never torn
I gave you strength while I broke piece by piece
No tears will fall, I won't beg you to stay
You'll miss me one day, and say I flew away

I'll keep walking, I'll find my way
And you'll wish you hadn't walked away
No tears, no plea, I'm finally free
And you'll regret what you lost in me

You were the cage, and you opened the door
I chose to stay, but my wings were never torn
I gave you strength while I broke piece by piece
No tears will fall, I won't beg you to stay
You'll miss me one day, and say I flew away

I'll keep walking, I'll find my way
And you'll wish you hadn't walked away
No tears, no plea, I'm finally free
And you'll regret what you lost in me
