watch them fly
away
won’t stay
i pray
watch them be
afraid
the song
it played
can’t make
the trade
decisions
you made
watch them
leave the light
we fuss
we fight
we cry
at night
the voice
inside
the pride
aside
you cross
my mind
these thoughts
divide
& my heart
misguides
so i watch you fly
away
please stay
i pray
i’m so afraid
of who i am
today
can’t make
the trade
decisions
i made
it hurts
to know
i stay, i go
to me, i owe
i feel so low
the goodbye, hellos
were just a show
for you, i won’t
but for you, i will
it’s just the thrill
the void, it fills
the well, the mill
i stand so still
like a drug, a pill
it feels so right
but it leads downhill
it hurts
to know
i pray i don’t
i’ve gotta go
to beat the lows
i get so high
i say goodbye
it’s just a lie
i die inside
i can’t fight the pain
i like the rain
the blood, the stain
of a heart so vain
it’s not the same
you say my name
and i run away
to save the day
because
i want it again
the forces to end
the power it takes
to keep me awake
the time we spent
was all pretend
the time we spent
it’s gone, it went
the time we spent
i don’t resent
it was love
words unspoken
echo in the dark
a flicker of love
now just a spark
the dreams we built
on fragile ground
with every mistake
they slowly drown
hearts heavy
burdened by pain
what once felt like sunshine
now only rain
in silence we linger
in the void we remain
watching the memories
like ghosts in the lane
yet hope lingers
a glimmer in the haze
reminding me still
of our brighter days
but watch them fly
watch them drift away
in the stillness of night
will they choose to stay?
a heart once so bold
now weary with scars
each promise unfulfilled
like fading stars
the echoes of laughter
the warmth of your touch
now linger like shadows
too distant to clutch
so here in the twilight
as darkness takes flight
i gather my courage
to reclaim my light
for even as they leave
and the pain feels so true
i’ll rise from the ashes
and learn to love too
