There is a storm in my heart
It tears me inside apart
I am bleeding and I am hurt
Like a wingless little bird

My world turns into dark
And for a moment I see
The pain that was inside of me
And on a journey I embark

In search of love to fill my soul
In search of reasons to make me whole
In search of understanding, and the truth
In search of someone, hoping it was you

You’re my guiding star in darkness
Like a little stream in the desert
Everything about you seems flawless
But that is what causes the hurt

Your perfections do not belong to me
You do not deserve my chains to be with me
You need to live and see
What it means to be free

So spread your wings and fly away
For I can not fulfill your dream
But if you should fall one day
I’ll guide you and be that little stream

im letting you go and discover it all
but please remember,wherever you go
when you’re alone just let me know
i’ll be there for you, all you have to do is call
