[Intro] ["night cricketsrickets chirping", soft dizi, distant synth bells] [Verse 1] [Low rap, measured, intimate] You said "I've got you," and I trusted the sound, Built a whole sky on a borrowed ground. Late-night calls and the truths we'd trade, I never saw the price of what we'd made. Smiling in the light while the shadows kept score, Every kind word was a closing door. I read the signs, but I read them kind, Love can make a blind man of a mind. [Pre-Chorus] [Sung, soft, strings rising] And I'm not angry, I'm just awake, Holding the pieces I can't remake. [Chorus] [Sung, ethereal, male harmonies] Broken wings, but I remember the sky, Broken wings, and I don't need to ask you why. No fire to throw, no name to burn, Just a quiet lesson that I had to learn. Broken wings, still mine to mend, I carry the love, I let go of the end. [Verse 2] [Low rap, reflective] Funny how a truth can wear a mask so well, How the heaven that you sold felt like a spell. I replayed the moments, frame by frame, Searching for the point where we changed. Maybe you were frightened, maybe you were small, Maybe I loved a version that was never there at all. Both can be true: you hurt me, and I'm free, Both can be true: you were home, then a memory. [Pre-Chorus] And I'm not angry, I'm just awake, Holding the pieces I can't remake. [Chorus] Broken wings, but I remember the sky, Broken wings, and I don't need to ask you why. No fire to throw, no name to burn, Just a quiet lesson that I had to learn. [Bridge] [Spoken, whispered, only dizi and strings] Disappointment is just love with nowhere to land. I won't hate you. Hate would mean you still hold my hand. [Final Chorus] [Sung, full harmonies, then fading] Broken wings, but I'm learning to rise, Broken wings, with the dawn in my eyes. No fire to throw, no name to burn, I'm letting go, and I'm learning to turn. [Outro] [Crickets return, synth bells fade, dizi solo]
