If I was a bird, I would fly away
Take to the sky, don't let tomorrow replay.
If you could get high with me what would you say?
I know that you wouldn't even hesitate.
Quit your promises, they'll never be made.
Stick to your words or they'll eventually fade.
Understand, I wasn't born this way.
I'm just a symptom of society... Today.
Today, you let me win.
I don't know where I'd have been, without you there to comfort by my side.
Today, you made me feel,
I was part of something real.
Was all that warmth, just a figment in my mind?
Today, I wonder still, how is it I'm supposed to fill,
The void that you left uncovered and exposed?
Today, is just the start.
We all have to play a part.
I hope your will won't stray from where you are.
I won't let you fall apart, my friend.
I won't let you fall apart, not till the end.
