[Intro] If you believe, There is a reason, People come into our lives, That theres a purpose, a meaning, Maybe this is my purpose... I'm sorry it has to be me. [Verse 1] I was wrapped in a cocoon, Submerged, confused, Trapped and consumed, When I emerged, Out came something new, And though I can never become what I was, again, But At least now I have wings, And I wanted the sky, I wanted the wind, I needed MY sky. (My sky) [Instrumental] [Verse 2] And though you were sweet, ...Oh so sweet! I needed time to get away, To know peace, Away from your sweet chaos. To reconcile with that part of me. The part of me that I couldn't hear, But I knew was there, Whispering in my ear. Drowned out by your shouting, Your laughter, your warmth, your tears. It wasn't that I found something new, That I resented you, Or that I didn't care... [Bridge] It's that I was becoming SOMEthing new, Something I could not yet share; Couldn't understand at the time, As I barely understand now and here. Maybe I'm dumb, dense, and unkind, But I hope you understand somehow, Maybe some day, maybe not now, Maybe it's wishful thinking, Maybe I'm kidding myself, Or maybe I'm hopelessly wishful, Maybe I think only of myself, I'm selfish. But... [Chorus] If you believe, There is a reason, People come into our lives, That theres a purpose, a meaning, Maybe this is my purpose... I'm sorry it has to be me. [Verse 3] So now, I will wrap you in your cocoon, Please know this hurts me, As it hurts you. (It will hurt...) (It will hurt---...) But don't be afraid, Im sorry that it has to be me, I'm sorry that it has to be this way, But soon you'll have your wings, And you'll fly high, You'll fly away. Because I want you to fly, (Fly away...) Find the wind, I want you to find your sky. [Outro] Nothing burned brighter, hotter... Or better, at the time... And I wanna thank you, (Thank you...) For loving me, For giving me the time of my life.
