Broken Birds

Teaching broken birds to fly
I can't fix 'em but at least I tried
I hanged on for dear life
But that didn't make you stay
Looking at me with those eyes
It's like you love to see me cry
This will be our last goodbye
This time it's for real

Everybody warned me
And all the ones before me
Told me that you were no good
Looking back on hindsight
Even if the time is right
This is what I have to do

Time for me to go now, oh
I'm afraid you're on your own now, oh

Teaching broken birds to fly
A love like this should never die
I brought you back to life
But now I need to heal
There's nothing else I can do
'Cause there's no help when you
Spread your wings and fly back home now

Everybody warned me
And all the ones before me
Told me that you were no good
Looking back on hindsight
Even if the time is right
This is what I have to do

Time for me to go now, oh
I'm afraid you're on your own now, oh

I wish that you were stronger
Can't hold on any longer
For you to wanna save yourself
It's time for me to go now, now

Where would you be if it wasn't for me
Gotta let go but I don't even know
Forget all the good times that outweigh the bad
I feel like my heart's gonna stop

Bye
Bye

Time for me to go now, oh
I'm afraid you're on your own now, oh

I wish that you were stronger
Can't hold on any longer
For you to wanna save yourself
It's time for me to go now, now
