Learn to fly

i've been around, yes
gone up high, crashed and burned down low
it was foolish to think that my heart
couldn't be broken any more

too long have i been a slave
to the feeling of guilt
for all the dreams we shared
for all the castles we built

it was perfect, you were there
for me when i needed you
and i was always around
even when it was too good to be true

i could've never resisted,
you were a heaven sent sign
to give it everything i had; and now
i'm holding on too tight to what was never mine

ages will pass before we heal
she will be in another's arms, happy but yearning
for the day she's back in my arms,
her heart no longer in mourning

maybe then we'll know how,
maybe then we'll know why
maybe then we'll start to accept
that we were destined to take the leap... that we were destined to fly
