I can't fly but I'm willing to try
Heaven knows I need to leave you behind
You've made me cry and you broke this heart of mine
Still I loved you all the while
Drink my wine there's smudged mascara around my eyes
And I'm dreaming of clearer skies
But I can run and I know I don't need anyone
Just a one way ticket to fly
Yeah you have knocked me down but I will rise
And my life is not up for compromise
And I'm willing to leave you behind
All those words all the things you've ever said
Don't mean anything they're just lies
You are scum and I'll be happy when this is done
The world is waiting for me to arrive
Yeah you have knocked me down but I will rise
And my life is not up for compromise
You may be older than me but your mind is like a child
There must be glass in your heart for you to be so unkind
With my feet in the sea and the sun in my eyes
Your face becomes a memory of someone else's life
You might be lonely now but I'll assure you that I
I'm having the time of my life
I am dancing now I feel so alive
Look how far I've come and how much you've fallen behind
You thought you were better than me but I wouldn't want your sorry life
Take back the tears you've caused cause its your turn to cry
There's nothing left to save all the love I had has died
You treated me like dirt and I remained by your side
You taunted all my dreams and you took over my mind
But I am letting go I'm leaving you behind
And I'm getting ready to fly
