I was born come on the break of spring mama told me I got joy to bring but I got something buried in my soul nothing ever seemed to make me whole
I got on my knees and learned to pray God, if you're the one then I will stay but I was given wings to fly away I keep my word as long as I'm okay
so tell me what it means my fingers on the strings I'm praying I got something worth the breath it takes to say and I don't understand why I should get the chance while in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands when I can't earn this chance
I wish that I were better at goodbyes I don't connect with what would make you cry I guess there's something different in my head but I'll pretend I understand instead
You think I found a place where i belong but nothing keeps me rooted here for long I'd rather travel to a stranger place then recognized as a familiar face
I'm afraid of running out of days tell me everything will be okay I think I am better on my own but mama I'm afraid to die alone
