I'll grow wings

ꜱʏʟᴠᴀ

 

One day

I'll grow wings

and I'll fly away

far away

And you'll never see me again

 

You'll look for me

In a diary

where tears smudge ink

And you'll start to think

you never knew me

 

But I was always here

Before your eyes

I cried every night 

and you never realized

 

I understood when I was twelve

That I couldn't grow up to be myself

So I tried to be what I'm not

And I started to lose myself a lot

 

They say, ‘Stop this self pity,

Have you no shame?’

You're always so gloomy,

And you always stay the same

 

And I kind of agree,

maybe the problem is me

maybe it wasn't all that deep

maybe there’s no need to weep

 

But deep in the night

you'll never know how I cried

Cause i hate the way that

 i look through your eyes

 

Though I joke it off

And act that I didn't hear

I can't pretend

that I didn't care

 

and I don't know where I belong

and I don't know where i went wrong

And I'm craving for a sign

To tell me that it'll all be fine

 

So I pray to God at night

I pray He'll end this fight

I crave He'll make me alright

I yearn He'd set me right

And I pray,

One day,

I'll grow wings

and I'll fly away

far away

Never to be seen again.
