[Intro] It was a wounded crow who thought he healed alone Too proud to see the damage carved into his bones He called it strength to stand without a hand Then you appeared… and loved him as he was [Verse 1] They walked beneath a fractured, bruise-blue sky Two broken souls learning how to try He shielded her with wings torn ragged wide She stayed close where his raw scars could hide His feathers fell like silent, ash-gray rain Each one carrying unspoken, burning pain [Verse 2] Yet in her arms he felt the solid ground For once not lost, for once truly found She held him near not to catch his fall But so he wouldn’t shatter through it all In that cracked, dim glow of damaged light They both dared believe they could be alright [Refrain 1] You taught me flight while I feared the height above me Clinging to borrowed feathers that were never mine And in my hands… your light began to fade [Pre-Chorus 1] But slowly he began to fade away No strength left to hold the storm at bay His wings too heavy, frayed and worn To keep her safe from every raging storm She tried to wall the world from breaking in Fighting battles neither could ever win [Pre-Chorus 2] He started feeling lost inside his skin Without her light, without her steady spin And for the first time in his broken sky He felt alone… even by her side [Chorus 1] He sinks into a weight like liquid tar Drowning slow beneath invisible scars Stuck in the oil of wounds he won’t concede While she keeps trying desperately to set him free She pulls at him with hands of golden light But can’t break through his endless, starless night And still she stays where he can’t rise So small against his falling, burning skies [Refrain 2] You taught me flight while I feared the height above me I wore your wings like they were stitched to me But every step… dimmed what you used to be [Verse 3] She pulled him out from sinking, choking black Led him far from what held him fast For a moment he could breathe clean air again Outside the weight of endless, gnawing pain He built a nest with shaking, brittle pride Refusing her still at his side [Verse 4] He worked through nights, alone and unkind While she was slowly left behind Her laughter faded to a hollow hum As he sealed himself inside his numb She watched him build walls of rusted steel And wondered how she’d ever made him feel [Pre-Chorus 3] She started breaking deep beneath her skin Still doing everything to keep him in He turned into a drifting, leaden mass Too heavy for her light to ever pass She only wished for sky and distant stars While he kept healing all alone, behind his scars [Refrain 3] You taught me flight while I feared the height above me Still bound to feathers that were never mine And I became the weight that broke your sky [Chorus 2] She changed her shape to pull him near To spark a life he couldn’t hear She broke her wing along the jagged way He swore he’d mend it day by day But neither wound was ever truly mended Two broken vows that never reached their ending Still she smiled to make him stay Even as she slipped away [Bridge] And suddenly the silence split in two And I could finally see the bitter truth I could have moved mountains right beside you But I chose fear instead of facing truth And every step you took to lift me up Was carving out my cold, unyielding cup Now I stand in what we built together A ruin I can’t outrun, can’t weather [Break] You are still here… but fading out And I am only learning how To see the love I never gave Before it turns into a grave [Final Chorus] I release the wing I broke, the wing I stole Though every part of me still foolishly hopes That you’ll feel the wind I never dared to face When you stood there, steady, in my place A feather of yours breaks in my shaking hand A promise I could never understand And now I see what I became A shadow calling out your name [Refrain Final] You taught me flight while I feared the height above me Now I stand beneath what I could never keep And all I touch… turns back into your light [Outro] I was capable… but I could not see it You became my greatest lesson to believe in The most beautiful… and the most painful I’ve known And I was only another wound you had to carry alone I want your happiness, even if I’m not there Even if your sky no longer knows my air You deserved a love I failed to give So I will let you go so you can live [Final Epilogue] I was too late… to become what I should have been If I could not be who you needed… I will still set you free
