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.
