Lyrics
Wings
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've been suffering
Hiding your pain
Unshed tears on the edge
Just water under the bridge, you say
Is it too late to make myself
A safe place?
I could not see the dangers
The sacrifices you were making
Hurt you, hurt me
Hurt you, never meant to
Hurt you, hurt me
I need to make myself a safe place
For you to cry baby
'Cause sometimes
Big boys they need to cry
So we built you some wings
To help you to flee
From your demanding
Dark Angel
And me
Is it too late to make myself
A safe place?
I went too far
When we flew too close to our star
It hurt you, hurt me
Hurt you, never meant to
Hurt you, hurt me
I need to make myself a safe place
For you to cry baby
To cry baby
'Cause sometimes
Big boys they need to cry
'Cause sometimes
Big boys they need to cry
