Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Why do I have to stay here, In this house of silent walls? The clock keeps ticking louder, But no one ever calls. [Prechorus] The sky’s so wide, so blue, so free, It feels like it’s calling me. [Chorus] Why can't I leave, just fly away, Let these heavy wings unfold? Why must I carry this heartbreak, A story nobody told? Why can't I fly away today? [Verse 2] I see the birds out my window, They don’t look back, they just soar. But here I’m stuck with my sorrow, Feet nailed to the floor. [Chorus] Why can't I leave, just fly away, Let these heavy wings unfold? Why must I carry this heartbreak, A story nobody told? Why can't I fly away today? [Bridge] I’ve begged the wind to take me, But it only whispers low. It tells me that I’m tethered, To a pain I’ll never show.
