Wings Clipped

All your lovers, no, they’re not your friends
Learn the hard way fast
That every time you give someone your trust
They throw it back, they throw it back

Another Sunday working on the ground,
Signal breaking down
‘Cause every time you said they loved you
Left and took it back, took it back

Taken hostage, cut your tongue
They make you watch as the world slips by you
Chasing something, you’re crying out, crying out, oh

They say it’s weakness
But you’re just an angel with your wings clipped
Someone came and took all of your secrets
Now you can’t fly away, now you can’t fly away, ay

They say it’s madness
Future on the line, you’re moving backwards
Someone came and broke you right in half so
That you can’t fly away, that you can’t fly away, ay

Oh!

But you’re just an angel with your…

Got your calling like a body suit made of lead, and, oh
But you’re still wondering why you feel too heavy to go out
To go out
People calling in a state for you
Think they love too loud
And so you push them all away
But it’s too damn quiet now, quiet now

Taken hostage, cut your tongue
They make you watch as the world slips by you
Chasing something, you’re crying out, crying out, oh

They say it’s weakness
But you’re just an angel with your wings clipped
Someone came and took all of your secrets
Now you can’t fly away, now you can’t fly away, ay

They say it’s madness
Future on the line, you’re moving backwards
Someone came and broke you right in half so
That you can’t fly away, that you can’t fly away, ay

Oh!

You can’t fly away
