Your heart of generosity Slipped through the grip of my talons to flee In part, I wrapped my wings too tight Forgot that comfort's not a right I lost my "me" to barbarity True beauty is a rarity
I didn't plan my initial attack Hate that it's far too late to ever go back With hindsight, I replay my plight from the start But there's no way to steal your crystal heart
I was too young, and you were not burned then Knew you'd go someday, didn't know just when Better off now when you're still not a crutch Ooh, we could have been so much
I was so blind, but you would defend me Flying so fast thought the race would end me All it ever took was the thrill of your touch Ooh, we could have been so much
Now you've come to haunt me in mysterious ways Hear your voice or see you on delirious days I knew that you'd be taken, before I could die But leaving by choice, I take to the sky Harsh winds on wings force tears to dry
When I grew my wings, I gained a curse I cut my strings and wrote my verse Was it the nurture and care? Or the nature of despair? Maybe staying things would have been much worse
I was lovestruck and you were just flattered The needle got stuck, the dresses were tattered Gave me some time for my brooding and such Ooh, we could have been so much
I was still learning, you were the wise one When I was yearning you would despise fun Ev'rything I did came from need of your touch Ooh, we could have been so much
I was your dog and you were my Mistress In a deep fog I never could see this This is my sin and to you I clutch Ooh, we could have been so much
I was so blind, but you would defend me A dragon you'd find and choose to mend? We always knew for sure at the feel of our touch Ooh, we could have been so much
