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
