Free To Fly

I saw it in your eyes again today
The emptiness I’d come to know
Every time I tried to hold you near
I can’t believe it just faded away
How could I have hurt you so?
To turn your love into fear

Is it wrong to cry?
Until memories flood in
And to wish things back
Cause it would be a lie
If I hide everything within
All that I now lack

I know we said forever
Back when our love was strong
Now we only hurt when we’re together
Could God have known all along?
And though my heart will always feel for you
There’s no hope for what we thought was true
But I can still show you what you mean to me
When I spread my arms and set you free
Free to fly

The truth is often hard to face
Yet I will do the best I can
‘Cause I can’t be selfish anymore
It’s not fair to keep you in this place
Falling down like a helpless man
A fraction of what I was before

Our future may have passed us by
Such are the cruel twists of fate
That can shatter the best fantasy
But our friendship does not have to die
If our feelings do not turn to hate
We can learn to let each other be

Even though we have reached the end
It’s still the start of something good
Time will not tear us apart
We’ll stick together like best friends should

You’ll be free to fly
And I’ll watch you spread your wings
Go soar along where you belong
Don’t mind about the little things

I know I always said forever
Back when our love was strong
But now that we’re no longer together
I see that God had a plan all along
And though my heart may still feel for you
I have learned a lesson, so now I bid adieu
And I will show you what you mean to me
When I open my arms and let you be free
Free to fly
Fly Away...
