Nicks
Give me only a second of silence
and I'll learn how to speak
ever try and prove me wrong
and I'll bring you to your knees
Say you love me
and I'll break your heart
When no one else recognizes you
I'll still know who you are
Say that you know me
and I will prove you wrong
Think that you can keep me
and I'll be gone before long
Break my wings and you'll teach me how to fly.
Try and keep me grounded
and you'll find that I am vicious
Sneaking out late at night,
just to make you suspicious
I am quite contradictory
you'll never get the truth
why would I hand over heart failure?
I'll break you if I do
I'm not going to feign concern
I can't promise you whats not there
I do not love you
saying I do is unfair
Break my wings and you'll teach me how to fly.
You don't deserve this;
the thought's I've given
The things that I've kept
that were secretly hidden
Never were you worth it
not even for a second
You really thought I'd fall for you
the second that you beckoned?
I'm not interested in your offer
there's no way else to say it
Try to force me anyway
and my dear, you will pay for it
Break my wings and you'll teach me how to fly.
When you fight me and finally win
when you can stand over me, with pride
when you say I am finally beaten
I'll prove that I have lied
Your legs will vanish from beneath you
and then you'll vanish altogether
I'll pretend that I am heartbroken
You'd be the only one who knew me better
There won't be any more days
of trying to grasp my hand
Once we're free of each other
I think you'll understand:
Break my wings and you'll teach me how to fly.
