Baby

I used to watch your flowers grow

Now it's raining and all your petals turns to stone

I've been praying

I turn around and see my rose

But you faded

You let me down now it's time to go

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass

Like oil and water we always clash

Sometimes my confessions are hard for me

I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

You need to let me fly alone (X3)

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

It may be too late our time is done

Baby

I think you've got your timing wrong

Hating

Is blowing this high we're riding on

And it's crazy to think that I could be reborn

If you saved me

Now it's to late

We'll never know

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass

Like oil and water we always clash

Sometimes my confessions are hard for me

I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

You need to let me fly alone (X3)

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

It may be too late our time is done

With broken wings (with broken wings)

I can't fly (I can't fly)

Girl I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine

With broken wings (with broken wings)

I can't fly (I can't fly)

Girl I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

You need to let me fly alone (X3)

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

It may be too late our time is done

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass

Like oil and water we always clash

Sometimes my confessions are hard for me

I'll tell you now I'm setting you free
