He’d known
How I felt since the first day
I’d always wanted more
An angel
Complete with white wings and purity
I was so naïve
Pre-Chorus:
To think that he could ever give me what I need
Empty promises he never intended to keep
Chorus:
My wings
My protection
He set them both to doubt
One by one
He torn each feather out
Until I lay dying
My face toward the sky
Praying that some day again
I would fly
Verse 2:
Does he know
How I found out the truth
How I found out about her
He lied to me
After all of my warnings
About these shattered dreams
Pre-Chorus:
Now I look at life in quite a different way
I feel like everyone’s trying to take my love away
Chorus:
My wings
My protection
He set them both to doubt
One by one
He torn each feather out
Until I lay dying
My face toward the sky
Praying that some day again
I would fly
Bridge:
I hope that you realize
The weight of what you’ve done
Stole my innocence and ability to love
I thought you were heaven sent
Clearly I was wrong
How could you
My best friend with my best friend
All because of you
Now both are gone
Chorus:
My wings
My protection
You set them both to doubt
One by one
You torn each feather out
Until I lay dying
My face toward the sky
Praying that some day again
I would fly
