It would be so sweet
To begin again
No more one-way streets
Be an unmarked man
I know it's only an illusion
Spellbound the walls came closing in
I find my home is now a prison
Deep down I swallowed the key
If it would get to you
I would cut the ties that we keep
If you could see the truth
Show you just what hides underneath
But it would be no use
A chorus to the words that you preach
I'd die here waiting on the proof
These clipped wings can't make me crawl
What good is love if it keeps me small?
You'll say you made me but I'm not yours to tame
You don't even know my name
And I will be to you
A cry that calls out deep in the night
A haunting that you choose
This voice to which you have no right
You're such a poor excuse
A hunter who forgot how to fight
For you, I can no longer bleed
These clipped wings can't make me crawl
What good is love if it keeps me small?
You'll say you made me but I'm not yours to tame
You don't even know my name
I can be so sweet
Come take your piece
For me, you ache
It's already too late
These clipped wings can't make me crawl
What good is love if it keeps me small?
You'll say you made me but I'm not yours to tame
You don't even know my name
If you made me then make me stay
You don't even know my name
