You Flew

I was a building, you were a bird

I was rooted and hoped you were

I wanted steady, I wanted you

But I loved deeper than you asked me to

So you flew

And I chased until my feet turned blue

But what is love if you have to beg for it?

Nearly killed me just waiting for it

So I watched as you flew

I was an ocean that you sank below

I rolled like thunder and you ran for home

I could see you, the parts you hid

I gave everything when you wanted a little bit

So you flew

And I chased until my feet turned blue

But what is love if you have to beg for it?

Nearly killed me just hoping for it

So I watched as you flew
