Broken Wings

Wandering around in a world
where she does not feel at home
No love for herself, just a struggle with life
a past that cannot be undone

The sparkles taken from her eyes
Feeling shattered and abused
if tears could speak they would silence us
but no one understands
her broken wings won't heal again

Laughing with friends that are not aware
They look at her but they do not see
beyond the mask that hides her pain

the scream of fear inside
stopped her growing
still a little girl
not knowing where to go
not knowing her way, locked up in herself

captured forever and a day
by the one that blamed her
Every day again she knows a night will follow
with dreams
that won't heal her broken wings

His wispers won't go
they are stuck in her head
though she loves to be alive
there is escape in dead... and she knows
her broken wings will never heal again

She can't turn back the clock
nor can she go forward
although she left the past behind
it constantly revives

And she knows, no one will understand
her broken wings will never heal again

Broken Wings

Wandering around in a world
where she does not feel at home
No love for herself, just a struggle with life
a past that cannot be undone

The sparkles taken from her eyes
Feeling shattered and abused
if tears could speak they would silence us
but no one understands
her broken wings won't heal again

Laughing with friends that are not aware
They look at her but they do not see
beyond the mask that hides her pain

the scream of fear inside
stopped her growing
still a little girl
not knowing where to go
not knowing her way, locked up in herself

captured forever and a day
by the one that blamed her
Every day again she knows a night will follow
with dreams
that won't heal her broken wings

His wispers won't go
they are stuck in her head
though she loves to be alive
there is escape in dead... and she knows
her broken wings will never heal again

She can't turn back the clock
nor can she go forward
although she left the past behind
it constantly revives

And she knows, no one will understand
her broken wings will never heal again
