Nothin' I did ever made ya proud The sounds inside my head were screamin' so loud I was so scared, caught up in the crowd Lost my direction, head stuck in a cloud Then the mirror, it gave me a diff'rent face An' the voice I always thought was my own Was just a beautiful, empty trace A ghost that was takin' up all 'a my space Those voices are a mountain way too high An' it is the moment to say goodbye 'Cause this evenin' I am breakin', yeah, the real me you'll see I will find what has been left of the real me This silver cord, I'm severin' the tie An' from yer darkness, I will learn to fly Yeah, ya always made me feel so small I was on the edge, just waitin' for the fall Ev'ry move I made was meant to be perfect... was it worth it But the mirror, it gave me a diff'rent face An' the voice I always thought was my own Was just a beautiful, empty trace A ghost that was takin' up all of my space Those voices are a mountain way too high An' it is the moment to say goodbye 'Cause this evenin' I am breakin', yeah, the real me you'll see I will find what has been left of the real me This silver cord, I'm severin' the tie An' from yer darkness, I will learn to fly (Ah-ah-ah) (Forever) (Ah-ah-ah) (Ah-ah-ah) (Forever) (Ah-ah-ah) An' out here in the wide-open sky I'm a little bit lost, a little bit scared Of turnin' into someone brand new But I'm so ready to learn how to fly 'Cause this evenin' I am breakin', yeah, the real me you'll see I will find what has been left of the real me This silver cord, I'm severin' the tie An' from yer darkness, I will learn to fly (Ah-ah-ah) (Forever) (Ah-ah-ah) (Ah-ah-ah) (Forever) (Ah-ah-ah) The sound is almost gone Just waitin' for the brand new dawn An' all that is left is the quiet The quiet
