Broken Sky


I tried loving you, you tried feeling me I tried reaching out, you tried pulling in I tried to make it work; you had to break it first I tried to be free, you tried to chain me I tried to fly, you took my sky I tried not to fall, you dropped it all I try loving you, I try feeling you Like you want me to, but I am not you I don’t pull in, I make it work I am free Your chains can’t hold me You try to break my sky To clip my will but I will fly I will fly from your hands to my own feet I tried loving you, I have to love me I have to be free
