Broken Wings

[Verse]
You clipped my feathers
And said it was for my own good
Then you told me to soar but I just stood
The sky’s so wide yet you've grounded me in place
All my dreams now feel like shame and disgrace
Baby, you can't fix what you’ve done
No you can't fix what you've done
[Chorus]
Broken wings can’t catch the breeze
Don’t tell me to fly when you made me so weak
Broken hearts will always stop their beat
Don’t ask for love when you've made me hollow and incomplete
Broken souls can’t light the night
Don’t preach joy when you've stolen my flight
Broken Wings can't catch the breeze
[Verse 2]
You shattered my soul yet say nothing's changed
I try hard to smile but it feels so fake
The pieces sting every time I reach
For the fractured view of what you preach
[Prechorus]
You can't mend what you've destroyed
I'm a woman, not your childish toy
[Chorus]
Broken wings can’t catch the breeze
Don’t tell me to fly when you made me so weak
Broken hearts will always stop their beat
Don’t ask for love when you've made me hollow and incomplete
Broken souls can’t light the night
Don’t preach joy when you've stolen my flight
Broken Wings can't catch the breeze
Broken Wings can't catch the breeze
No, baby, they can't

sounds exactly how I felt when #1 left and wanted to return. I knew when he left that he was never to be trusted again. I found my wings and soared letting him falter while I moved on. Great story.
