Fly Away

I loved too much back then
Love too little now
I want to love somebody
Someone show me how

Mesmerized his lips
Died inside his eyes
Gave up all the little things
Accepting all the lies

Lost my waking mind
Swore it was forever
Walked into the future
Thinking I was clever

Knew not of this love
We flippantly professed
When it ended, all I touched
Was seemingly oppressed

This artificial air of love
Was killing all I knew
Riding in on winds of change
That seemed so overdue

Had to stretch my wings and fly
To learn of this true love
Breaking chains that held me to
My tainted little dove
