yes, i have abandoned you. yes, i left you feeling black and blue. with your alcoholic deep neurotic tendences. your little fluffy clouds. can i be excused? oh, you should let me go by now.

i'm ashamed, i was ashamed of you. of all the crazy things that you would do. the way you traded independence for a kiss or two. you thought that you were loved. for a second in the limelight, you'd do anything at all.

so now you're falling off the ground into the great unknown. yeah, after all the silent years you're finally on the show. so no more calling late at night, no hard words on the phone. now i take my wings off for you. i take my wings off for you.

i'm afraid, i was afraid of you. but could i've stopped you from falling through your happy days, unhappy days, depression days. i was on your side. never found the perfect things to say, but at least i tried.

it seems like i am losing someone i have never known. so many things you've never said and things you've never shown. i hope you've changed, i hope you've learnt. and i sure hope you've grown. because now i take my wings off you. i take my wings off for you.
