Lyrics
Fly Away from Me

I'm sorry that I've hurt you more
Didn't mean to this time, didn't mean to before
I know you say that it's alright
But I'll still kick myself tonight
Every little mistake I put you through
Is a hundred times harder because it's you
I know you say it's not a big deal
But it doesn't change the way I feel
Any time I let you down
I'd rather be buried in the ground
You deserve better than I can give
Every smile on your face is a reason to live
Now I'm singing to you, I'm singing this song
Not asking for much, maybe sing along
But if you don't, it's quite okay
At least won't you listen to what I say
I wanna tell you, you are great
A shimmer of love in a world of hate
Won't you let me whisper in your ear
You're a spark of love that's so sincere
I wish to give you everything and more
Take these wings, so you can soar
Far above this world of dirt
Far above all this hurt
Hope you can see me from so high above
I'm waving at you; you're the one I love
Could you smile at me, let me know
If you're gonna stay, if you're gonna go
You flap your wings; you flap them hard
My heart is cracked, oh so marred
But over time, it should heal
Wish I could express the way I feel
Good luck out there, where ever you go
There's just one thing, I want you to know
Fly over mountains, snow so reflective
But someday you'll land; see from my perspective
When you look back and see from my view
You'll know my mistakes, the big were so few
Wonder why you left, why you flew away
But I'll be a memory from a distant day
But for now I have to wave goodbye
I swore I'd never hurt you, swore this love wouldn't die
Now it looks like this is the end
I have to admit it, no reason to pretend
Sorry for every mistake I made
Your heart deserves to be better paid
I'm sure we'll both carry on somehow
But all I can feel is sorrow right now
