How It Is

You found me under ground Hating everyone and feeling oh so alone You found me and told me you were the way And I believed everything you said You gave me wings and taught me to fly You told me that I was now free And I believed everything you said Flying, flying, flying Oh how it felt when I was flying Like I was floating above the clouds Nothing seemed to bother me Then you flew away You saw another flyer prettier than I and left But before you left. You tore off my wings and left me to die I started falling, bleeding, dying And when I hit the ground It destroyed me, and broke my soul I laid there wishing that death would find me He was late though and that is what saved me He couldn’t tell I was ready to die Or maybe he just decided that I had more time Then they found me in a lump Some strange creatures that I cannot explain They talked of things I have never heard of I could barely understand their weird language They taught me about the world They told me about life and how it really is They built me back up After I have been tore down so far I found out that you were not the way That you have lied to me to keep me with you To keep me dependent on you Now look at me I am a queen You used to call me your princess But everything has changed now I am the queen of my own world I do not need anyone to rule with me I am no longer flying I have scars where you tore my wings off But I now walk on land with others I am not alone And I am happier than I was when I flew When I always fought and then begged How you would fly away to find your peace of mind Then come back Forget that I'm free I now understand how hard you tried to mess me up I understand that I don’t need you That I am happier and braver on my own I am more free than you even let me be More free than you ever wanted me to be
