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
