Feeling, betrayed and back-stabbed
Wondering when that dream did die
Looking back, see all the trust he grabbed
But looking forward, you start to fly
Do you remember the words he said before he left?
“Pack all of your bags and then go...go”
Now that you've got some distance from the treacherous shore
Out in the open, you wonder what was it that he had sworn?
Though he said, that he wanted, it was never enough
For he had not yet learned how to love himself
You had to leave all behind to realize
Love has always been in front of your eyes
You cannot say that this came as a surprise
In fact you feared it would become reality
That's why you caged him, in hopes he would not escape
But in fact that's how he wanted it to be
Even if he begged, if he said he's sorry
That he would never had dared to imagine he could hurt you that much
It's just going to drip off like tears from a flourishing leaf
You would look at him, half aware, half not there
And finally say that it's probably better if you went your separate ways
You cannot take him back
Some boxes you just don't want to unpack
Wake up and fly
Wake up and fly
Why take a boat when you can fly?
